What had happened monthly and then a weekly in the New York theater world is now a daily occurrence. On Monday, Robert O’Hara’s “Sh-t. Meet. Fan.” opened and now another new play about – here we go again! – white straight male privilege in America opened Wednesday, at the Signature Center under the auspices of the New Group and Red Yes Studio.
Jessica Goldberg’s play is titled “Babe,” but should be titled “Girl,” which is what its bombastic, sexist, untalented, full-of-himself and inordinately successful white straight male A&R legend calls all women, and that includes a cleaning lady who is well into her 60s.
