I have seen various productions of this very funny, mordant comedy! Besides, it’s a pointed satire of our worship of celebrity in this country:

Playhouse 22 in East Brunswick will be launching its “On The Edge Series” with the production of As Bees in Honey Drown by Douglas Carter Beane and directed by Amy Levine.
As Bees in Honey Drown is the story of Evan Wyler, a twenty-something New York writer savoring the success of his debut novel. Defined by the media as the “hot, young, thing-of-the moment,” Evan captures the attention of Alexa Vere de Vere, a blackclad woman of mystery who’s made the world of celebrity her home. In fact, it’s her religion.
Playhouse 22 voted “Best Community Theater” of the year
in Central Jersey!
