BITCH Susan Rubin’s dark comedy abandons logic, probability and common sense to provide a zany roller-coaster ride combining voodoo, kinky sex, weapons of mass destruction, sibling rivalry and Washington intrigues. Katherine (Bhama Roget) and her brother Dick (Nick Mennell), hostile partners in a Manhattan public-relations firm, take on a mysterious client named Claire Toussaint (Portia Realer) — an exotic black woman who seems to be accompanied by invisible drummers. Claire’s peddling a “nonlethal war-avoidance serum,” which she claims will put an end to warfare. Workaholic Katherine runs the firm and carries on an affair with Dodi Kalfayan (Ismail Bashey), representative of an unidentified Arab state, while hedonistic Dick pursues a torrid, sadistic affair with the giddy receptionist (Mara Marini). In order to sell the serum to the U.S. government, Katherine allows herself to be seduced by a lesbian senator (Liz Davies). When things spin wildly out of control, it takes an intervention by the spirit of voodoo queen Marie Leveau to sort things out. Director Mark Bringelson’s slick and speedy production mingles frantic action, video, nudity and simulated sex on Desma Murphy’s handsome and flexible set, while Roget, Mennell and Marini lend unlikely conviction to wildly giddy characters.
