"I was like 'of course,' because that's an honor more than a chore," says Brown."
"was so different from working with everyone else because when you get into the edit room, you want to have a lot of choices, and Sean provided that, whereas sometimes with other actors you have to really Frankenstein the performances together to get something cohesive."
"Sean just absorbed this material and inhabits the character, which is essential. You can't play this character - you have to be this character."
Sean Marlow asked Sean Brown to write a new solo show and Brown accepted. The collaborators met in college and previously worked together on Brown's films Strictly Professional (2018) and Christmas Freak (2021). Brown wrote and directed Death of a Drag Queen with Marlow's voice in mind. The play centers on Cram Brulée, an aging drag queen who has lost work, money and friends, has had her water shut off, faces eviction and confronts ghosts of her past. The show blends camp and confession and opens at Echo Theater Company Dec. 5. Marlow finds inhabiting the role exciting, beautiful and terrifying.
