| Drama On Viagra Is Ready To Hit The Stage At Vancouver Fringe Festival
Date: September 3, 2006
Viagra, the erectile dysfunction drug is at the peak of its popularity worldwide with a comedy play on the medicine reaching its third production and is soon to be performed at Vancouver Fringe Festival.
The play, titled The Viagra Diatribes by the dramatist Harvey Ostroff, documents the lives of two individuals in their 80s, namely, Anton Ilyich, a retired biology professor and Eli Golden, a former bookseller. The storyline is basically a coverage on the life of these two people, their meetings on a park bench and their witty as well as absurd discussions centering on love, poetry, philosophy, the grim realities that people in their old age have to face and the anti-impotency drug Viagra.
The idea to make such a play struck Ostroff when he was pretty young and was envisaging his life in old age
This two-character comedy drama by Harvey Ostroff was performed for three nights at a stretch at Semiahmoo Secondary last October and now is on its way for a jam packed performance at Vancouver Fringe Festival.
Originally titled, Old Guys Sitting on a Bench, Talking about This and That; The Viagra Diatribes, this comedy was enacted by the playwright himself and his former mentor Dennis Catrell, both playing the roles of Eli Golden and Anton Ilyich respectively.
Both Dennis Catrell and Harvey Ostroff are academically related to theatre as Catrell was once the Chair of the theatre department at Western Washington University and Ostroff had completed his masters in play writing. They had also taught theatre to an estimated 15, ooo students and adults.
