My Father's A Cop

Lounge Theatre

A father and son story that would make Shakespeare blush. The one-man show traces the tumultuous relationship of Jerry Dean, a charismatic local Greenwich Village legend and his father, a decorated NYPD detective, their fates locked together, as Jerry bobs and weaves and swerves through downtown NYC clubs, high-end whore houses, Park Avenue brownstones, heroin dens, incarcerations in America's toughest prisons, rehab centers, iconic mental institutions (Bellevue), star friendships, run-ins with gangsters, kinky sex with supermodels, a burgeoning acting career, Hollywood hostage stand-offs, break-ups break downs.

"...But I can't help noticing that in some respects this two-hour monologue (with one intermission) is the theatrical equivalent of being cornered at a dinner party by that sleazy dude who you kinda want to run away from before he picks your pocket or boozily throws up on you. The stories Dean tells - having stoned sex with a celebrity's daughter who demands he choke her into unconsciousness, or stealing pounds of pot from a drug dealer to fund his move to Los Angeles to find stardom - are genuinely shocking. The problem is, they're recounted with a matter-of-factness that belies any dramatic adornment or emotional attachment."
