Reviews are in for Michael Breslin and Patrick Foley’s Circle Jerk, which officially opened its new hybrid production Off-Broadway at The Connelly Theater June 14. Presented by Fake Friends, the run began previews June 8, and is set to run through June 25.
Rory Pelsue directs Breslin and Foley, who are joined in the cast by Cat Rodríguez. Set in wintertime on Gaymen Island, a summer retreat for the homosexual rich and famous, Circle Jerk follows two white gay internet trolls who scheme to take what they want in a chaotic mix of flip flops as three actors play nine roles.
