Please! While reading this monologue, while watching the performance of this monologue - stay with it until the close! Because the "punchline", if you will, at the end is what makes the work. Asher Wyndham has proven himself to be an adept yet untamed and blistering social critic. And not a writer who is simply "on the edge". There's so much to explore in his work.

This monologue is a blistering indictment of powerful men whose public persona and private activity are at odds. And I love that Asher Wyndham makes those men the subject of "Rent Boy" without allowing them to appear onstage because all they would do is evade, deceive, or politick.

As always, Asher's monologues are bangers, and this one is no exception! An engaging character throughout with clear objectives and a taking risks in the content. I always admire Asher's writing for his unwavering talent at hitting at hard realities and keeping his pulse on the political current of our times. By just setting this play in Milwaukee, we know the convention his stud is at, we know and we know what the red hat means.
