The Modern World Sucks

The downer French philosopher E.M Cioran once remarked that Western civilization has become a mass of listless people, wedged between lonely billionaires and the homeless. That’s something to keep in mind during Sex Drugs Rock & Roll by Eric Bogosian, a new production at Fort Lauderdale’s Sol Theatre that has nothing nice to say about the modern world.

Sex Drugs Rock & Roll is a succession of ten monologues. There’s a drugged-up panhandler in a subway car, a washed-up rock star on a talk show, a phony self-made man showing off his swimming pool — one by one, examples of human flotsam wash up on the stage and soliloquize. A survivor of the ΄60s generation rants — perhaps rightly — that the United States is ruled by malevolent televisions, computers, and supermarket checkout stations.
