In this one-man show, the HAIRSPRAY original director, John Waters takes the stage to discuss everything from his early influences and his fondest career memories. As part of a John Waters' retrospective, this perfomance is filled with outrageous insight and candid wit that has earned Waters an eternal place in the hearts of mischief-loving miscreants everywhere.
THIS FILTHY WORLD filmed over two nights at Manhattan's Harry De Jur Playhouse, can be one of the coziest and most charming means of investing 90-plus minutes of your life. Some of the more outrageous stuff can't, of course, be safely recounted in a family newspaper. Just know that Waters is so sneaky when delivering his zingers that he'll make you spit your beverage on the person next to you if you're not careful. In laughter, one hastens to add, not disgust.
"This suave connoisseur of sleaze can be touching when recalling Tab Hunter and Divine's initial encounter on the set of 1981's "Polyester." He can be instructive when talking about how a film society can attract patrons. ("Have the ushers be nude for one night.") More than anything, he can be mordantly funny when taking off on such varied topics as Michael Jackson, the Catholic Church and priggishness in every corner of society. Even when he expresses malice, Waters is always endearing, even - in his own way - sensible."
