RED SPEEDO at NY Theater Workshop-Don't Stop Just Go See this Winning Play

The winning at all costs justification for doping, lying, cheating is in the forefront of all prof. sports.  This prescient play comes at you from every angle with clever dialogue and cloying cunningness.  It stings like a flicked towel.  The 1 act, 4 character play, complete with lap pool, is about deceitfulness with a myopic focus on the prize regardless of any casualties.  The play makes swift twists & turns with a cutting edge.  "I'm tired of winning," says Ray (a convincing Alex Breaux.) He's an athlete whose "whole life has been dedicated to swimming," leaving him little without any other viable skill or income.  Peter, Ray's brother, atty. & business partner tells Ray "People with money are better."  Peter claims to have Ray's back & best interests.  Peter's best interests rely on Ray's qualifying for the olympics in order to cash in on a lucrative endorsement deal with Speedo.  Filling in the cast is Ray's coach and his ex-girlfriend.  Roy Oberson's lyrics "Anything you want, Anything you need, Anything at all, you got it," are played relentlessly prior to the play's start.  Ray plops in & out of the pool making waves.  The jarring horn blares, signaling the start of each race.  There's no horn sounding as people are mercilessly thrown under the bus.  The tempo of the play intensifies until everyone is seeing red.  RED SPEEDO is a slick trainwreck that qualifies as a contender.
