FuckPlays interview on front page of NYTheatre.com

There's a great interview with the producers of FuckPlays (Cole Wimpee, Eric Sanders, and Isaac Byrne) on NYTheatre.com.

The blurb on the front page leads you to an MP3 with the interview, lead by Martin Denton.

In the interview, it's mentioned how much Cole Wimpee pushed to get "Sharpen My Dick" into the line-up. And for that, Cole Wimpee rocks even harder.
