Kathleen Turner joins Charles Busch in ‘The Third Story’

”My favorite [line from a review] was when Frank Rich wrote in The New York Times, ‘It doesn’t matter that the lady is a man. The lady in question is a star.’ The worst was when John Simon wrote that I was merely a ‘wan transvestite.’

Actor Charles Busch who regularly plays female characters on stage and screen. His latest endeavor, ‘The Third Story’ is a three-in-one story line inspired by Busch’s late-night channel surfing habits. The show also features actress Kathleen Turner, and it has been extended through March 6 at the MCC Theater (Village Voice)
