I Cook, He Does the Dishes
Produced by Cage on the Run Productions
A performance for John Cage and Merce Cunningham.
Whenever composer John Cage was asked about his relationship with choreographer Merce Cunningham he would say ‘I Cook, He Does the Dishes.’ In fact, they were a gay couple who remained together for more than 50 years. And oh — by the way — they also managed to create the American Avant-Garde. Their sexuality is often ignored. It will not be ignored in this play.

And then we go about our lives. It’s a beautiful intimacy.” For actor, director, and writer Gregory Prest, even a...
