Bass for Picasso

Comedy / Food writer Francescas dinner party features famous recipes from the Alice B. Toklas Cookbook, along with a guest list that is an almost certain recipe for disaster. It includes Pilar, a multilingual art detective with visa problems; Bricka, a lesbian widow with a child and custody-seeking Republican in-laws; Joe, an OB/GYN whose lover is a disoriented drug addict; and Kev, a playwright who has written a soon-to-open play about...all of them. A hilarious, irreverent look at gay and lesbian life in the new millennium. ( 3 f, 2 m)
