Lily Padilla went on a bar crawl and talks to William Burke about his new show at The Bushwick Starr and wrote up this story.
playwright William Burke
Playwright William Burke’s uncle died suddenly in a small Colorado ski town.The wake was held in a dirty old bar called the Dog Bar. Everyone brought heavy funeral food. It’s the Southwest, so we’re talking enchiladas, thick dips and trays of chicken. William’s sister, a stand-up comic, was nominated to MC the wake. Upon returning to New York City, William doubled over in a stomach ache. He had to lay down. The next day, on the subway, he began to write.
Burke wrote the food was terrible in three days. It was 2010. From May 14-31, you can catch Burke’s creation at The Bushwick Starr and watch actors Noel Joseph Allain and Evander Duck step into Burke’s existential world of loss, love and the sentences we can’t finish.
The play is set in a dive bar, inspired by the time William overheard someone say what would become the first (and repeating) line of the food was terrible.
“I was at your daughter’s wake.”
At first, William struggled to start the play, writing one line then another. Quickly, he’d find himself stuck. The conversation in this two-character play kept ending abruptly. So he began again.
