I mean Daniel Van Kirk, a comedic actor who does an impression of Wahlberg that is somehow accurate and completely ridiculous at the same time. Van Kirk doesn’t look like Wahlberg, nor does he really try to; his costume consists of a bad wig. But he has the voice down pat, and that’s all he needs to get his version of Wahlberg — an absurdly cocky version of Wahlberg — across.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Van Kirk is a great example of the rising comedic talent coming out of the podcast world. Like James Adomian and Paul F. Tompkins, Van Kirk has an ability to imitate celebrities and turn them into unforgettable characters; beyond Wahlberg, which he started doing \u003ca href=\"http://www.earwolf.com/show/sklarbro-country/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">on the Sklarbro Country podcast\u003c/a>, he also appears on shows as Steven Seagal and Steven Avery, the subject of the Netflix docu-series \u003cem>Making A Murderer\u003c/em>. And those skills have led to Van Kirk’s being in demand by other podcasts and even TV shows: his Wahlberg impression has been used for shorts on Fox’s Animation Domination High-Def, and eventually led to Van Kirk’s own series for the Nerdist Network, called \u003cem>DVK\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3PevwGVQ0XA\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I spoke with Van Kirk before his many SF Sketchfest appearances last month. We discussed how he found his talent, where it’s gotten him, and the impact of podcasts on comedy. He even let me ask “Mark Wahlberg” a few questions as well, and you can hear the audio of that at the end of this Q&A.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>How did you get into comedy?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a kid, I used to listen to comedy albums, memorize the bits and redo them for my uncle. I also would watch \u003cem>Saturday Night Live,\u003c/em> then go to Sunday school the next morning and do all the characters, or at least all the ones I was allowed to do. By the time I finished high school I knew I wanted to be an actor, so I went to college and majored in theater. Years after college, I realized that comedy felt more natural for me, so I started doing that and moved out to L.A. not long after.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I put in the time and effort to get into the \u003ca href=\"https://ucbtheater.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Upright Citizens Brigade theater\u003c/a> (UCB) and that really kicked it into gear for me. That’s how I met the Sklar Brothers and began doing podcasts with them.

He could get up to 10 years in prison if convicted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Castor said Tuesday that he believed Constand was violated but that proving it would have been problematic because of serious flaws in the case, and so he declined to bring charges in 2005.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said that he made the decision as a representative of the state — as “the sovereign,” as he put it, over and over — and that it would last in perpetuity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“For all time, yes,” Castor said when pressed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And he suggested that Cosby and his lawyer at the time had the same understanding, because Cosby later agreed to testify without invoking his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination in a lawsuit brought against him by Constand.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Cosby would’ve had to have been nuts to say those things if there was any chance he could’ve been prosecuted,” Castor said, referring to the damaging testimony unsealed last summer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Castor said he hoped, correctly, at the time that the decision not to prosecute would free the comedian to testify in the lawsuit and help Constand win damages. She eventually settled for an undisclosed amount.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The former DA said he “wanted there to be some measure of justice” for Constand, explaining, “I thought making Mr. Cosby pay money was the best I was going to be able to set the stage for.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He added: “I was hopeful that I had made Ms. Constand a millionaire.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said he relayed word to Cosby’s then-attorney, Walter Phillips, that Cosby would not be charged. However, Castor said the two lawyers did not have an actual agreement that Cosby would testify in exchange for not being prosecuted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Phillips has since died.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kevin Steele, the newly elected DA who is pursuing the case, has said Cosby would need an immunity agreement in writing to get the case thrown out. He has said he has no evidence one exists.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was not immediately clear when Common Pleas Judge Steven T. O’Neill would rule.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Castor was called as witness by Cosby’s side, the former DA said he is rooting for the prosecution.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m not on your team here,” Castor told Cosby lawyer Brian McMonagle. “I want them to win.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a barrage of allegations that have destroyed Cosby’s image as America’s Dad, dozens of women have accused the former TV star of drugging and sexually assaulting them since the 1960s. But this is the only case in which he has been charged.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The unsealing of the testimony from Constand’s lawsuit prompted Castor’s successors to reopen the case and ultimately charge Cosby.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cosby admitted in the deposition that he had affairs with young models and actresses, that he obtained quaaludes to give to women he wanted to have sex with and that he gave Constand three pills at his home. He said he reached into her pants but insisted it was consensual.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Castor defended his decision not to bring charges, testifying that he saw Constand’s year-long delay in reporting the allegations, inconsistencies in her statements and her contact with a lawyer before going to police as problematic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Castor said Constand’s delay was of “enormous significance” in his consideration of the case. He said it thwarted his ability to test her hair or fingernails for evidence she was drugged.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, Castor said, he investigated the case thoroughly because he wanted to show authorities in Constand’s native Canada that celebrities don’t get preferential treatment in America.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Anne Poulin, a law professor at Villanova University, said the defense has a high bar to meet to get the case thrown out early on. But “if they can win without this ever going to trial, then they’ve done their client a big service.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In related news, a Los Angeles judge ordered Cosby to attend another deposition in a lawsuit filed by a woman who says the comic forced her to perform a sex act on him at the Playboy Mansion around 1974, when she was 15.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Also Tuesday, model Chloe Goins dropped a lawsuit accusing Cosby of drugging and sexually assaulting her at the Playboy Mansion in 2008. Goins gave no explanation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>___\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Associated Press writers Michael R.

However, Castor said the two lawyers did not have an actual agreement that Cosby would testify in exchange for not being prosecuted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Phillips has since died.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kevin Steele, the newly elected DA who is pursuing the case, has said Cosby would need an immunity agreement in writing to get the case thrown out. He has said he has no evidence one exists.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was not immediately clear when Common Pleas Judge Steven T. O’Neill would rule.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Castor was called as witness by Cosby’s side, the former DA said he is rooting for the prosecution.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m not on your team here,” Castor told Cosby lawyer Brian McMonagle. “I want them to win.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a barrage of allegations that have destroyed Cosby’s image as America’s Dad, dozens of women have accused the former TV star of drugging and sexually assaulting them since the 1960s. But this is the only case in which he has been charged.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The unsealing of the testimony from Constand’s lawsuit prompted Castor’s successors to reopen the case and ultimately charge Cosby.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cosby admitted in the deposition that he had affairs with young models and actresses, that he obtained quaaludes to give to women he wanted to have sex with and that he gave Constand three pills at his home. He said he reached into her pants but insisted it was consensual.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Castor defended his decision not to bring charges, testifying that he saw Constand’s year-long delay in reporting the allegations, inconsistencies in her statements and her contact with a lawyer before going to police as problematic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Castor said Constand’s delay was of “enormous significance” in his consideration of the case. He said it thwarted his ability to test her hair or fingernails for evidence she was drugged.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, Castor said, he investigated the case thoroughly because he wanted to show authorities in Constand’s native Canada that celebrities don’t get preferential treatment in America.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Anne Poulin, a law professor at Villanova University, said the defense has a high bar to meet to get the case thrown out early on. But “if they can win without this ever going to trial, then they’ve done their client a big service.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In related news, a Los Angeles judge ordered Cosby to attend another deposition in a lawsuit filed by a woman who says the comic forced her to perform a sex act on him at the Playboy Mansion around 1974, when she was 15.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Also Tuesday, model Chloe Goins dropped a lawsuit accusing Cosby of drugging and sexually assaulting her at the Playboy Mansion in 2008. Goins gave no explanation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>___\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Associated Press writers Michael R.

Between dealing with his family — the members of which still insist on calling him by his former name, Angela — and having a chance meeting with a mysterious, erudite stranger, Archer learns more about his identity and roots as well as about the evolving nature of the world around him. What sets this play apart from other trans narratives is that the theme of transition is more metaphorical than literal. “I had been feeling frustrated that most queer narratives are coming-out stories and most transgender narratives are transition stories,” Kaufman is quoted as saying on the theater website \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://www.broadwayworld.com/san-francisco/article/FOR-THE-LOVE-OF-COMRADES-THE-KID-THING-SAGITTARIUS-PONDEROSA-and-More-Set-for-NCTCs-2015-16-Season-20150327\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Broadway World\u003c/a>\u003c/em>. “I wanted to create art that would acknowledge constant change as an intrinsic part of being a person.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Now through Sunday, Feb. 28: \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"https://auroratheatre.org/index.php?option=com_theatre&view=show&id=116\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Little Erik\u003c/a>\u003c/em> at Aurora Theatre, Berkeley\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nHenrik Ibsen wrote his play \u003cem>Little Eyolf\u003c/em> in 1894. At the time, the plotline, about a wife who supports the family while the husband stays home to write a novel and look after their kid, must have seemed crazily far-fetched. But today, the gender role-reversal feels more normal, which is in part why San Francisco dramatist, actor and director Mark Jackson became intrigued by the quirky, domestic drama. Jackson’s adaptation fully transports the action into our own times for this Aurora Theatre world premiere: Marilee Talkington plays the role of a Silicon Valley executive and Joseph Estlack takes on the part of her husband who has just returned home following a sabbatical abroad. Jackson directs. “Ibsen is really great at writing psychologically messy characters, and these characters are particularly messy,” he told the \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"https://auroratheatre.org/index.php?option=com_theatre&view=content&id=284&type=review\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">San Francisco Chronicle\u003c/a>\u003c/em> in a recent interview about the new show.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Thursday, Feb. 4: Kid Koala’s \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"https://live.stanford.edu/calendar/february-2016/kid-koalas-nufonia-must-fall\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Nufonia Must Fall\u003c/a>\u003c/em> at the Bing Concert Hall, Stanford\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nKid Koala (aka Eric San) has made a career of entertaining audiences around the globe with his turntables. He’s toured with the Beastie Boys and Radiohead. But there’s a lot more to the Canadian scratch DJ’s art practice than spinning records. His enchanting 2003 graphic novel \u003cem>Nufonia Must Fall\u003c/em> about an inept robot’s attempt to woo a busy girl with his love songs has been turned into a live show featuring puppets, live music and silent film. What’s more, the audience gets to see the production crew pulling the show together in real-time before their very eyes: puppeteers animate miniature puppets, the Afiara Quartet provides the musical accompaniment on strings and piano, and Kid Koala does his stuff on the decks. Spike Jonze collaborator and \u003cem>Her\u003c/em> Oscar nominee K. K. Barrett keeps things thrumming along in his role as director. The action, skilfully edited in the moment, comes alive on a big screen above the stage with the aid of GoPro cameras that film the scenes. The show has already gotten great reviews in cities like New York and Toronto and is attracting a big crowd to Stanford.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11280574\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11280574\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/01/Rosselyn-Ramirez-and-Raymond-Tilton-in-Photo-from-George-Balanchine%E2%80%99s-Apollo.-Photo-Berenger-Zyla-e1453930486331-800x545.jpg\" alt=\"Rosselyn Ramirez and Raymond Tilton in Photo from George Balanchine’s Apollo.\" width=\"800\" height=\"545\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/01/Rosselyn-Ramirez-and-Raymond-Tilton-in-Photo-from-George-Balanchine’s-Apollo.-Photo-Berenger-Zyla-e1453930486331-800x545.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/01/Rosselyn-Ramirez-and-Raymond-Tilton-in-Photo-from-George-Balanchine’s-Apollo.-Photo-Berenger-Zyla-e1453930486331-400x273.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/01/Rosselyn-Ramirez-and-Raymond-Tilton-in-Photo-from-George-Balanchine’s-Apollo.-Photo-Berenger-Zyla-e1453930486331-768x524.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/01/Rosselyn-Ramirez-and-Raymond-Tilton-in-Photo-from-George-Balanchine’s-Apollo.-Photo-Berenger-Zyla-e1453930486331-1180x804.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/01/Rosselyn-Ramirez-and-Raymond-Tilton-in-Photo-from-George-Balanchine’s-Apollo.-Photo-Berenger-Zyla-e1453930486331-1920x1309.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/01/Rosselyn-Ramirez-and-Raymond-Tilton-in-Photo-from-George-Balanchine’s-Apollo.-Photo-Berenger-Zyla-e1453930486331-960x654.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Rosselyn Ramirez and Raymond Tilton in Photo from George Balanchine’s Apollo. \u003ccite>(Photo: Berenger Zyla)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Friday, Feb. 5 and Saturday, Feb. 6: Diablo Ballet presents \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://diabloballet.org/performances/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Precision and Balance\u003c/a>\u003c/em> at Del Valle Theatre, Walnut Creek\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nOne of the things I love about the Bay Area is that even small cities are able to sustain rarefied things like professional dance companies.

At the time, the plotline, about a wife who supports the family while the husband stays home to write a novel and look after their kid, must have seemed crazily far-fetched. But today, the gender role-reversal feels more normal, which is in part why San Francisco dramatist, actor and director Mark Jackson became intrigued by the quirky, domestic drama. Jackson’s adaptation fully transports the action into our own times for this Aurora Theatre world premiere: Marilee Talkington plays the role of a Silicon Valley executive and Joseph Estlack takes on the part of her husband who has just returned home following a sabbatical abroad. Jackson directs. “Ibsen is really great at writing psychologically messy characters, and these characters are particularly messy,” he told the \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"https://auroratheatre.org/index.php?option=com_theatre&view=content&id=284&type=review\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">San Francisco Chronicle\u003c/a>\u003c/em> in a recent interview about the new show.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Thursday, Feb. 4: Kid Koala’s \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"https://live.stanford.edu/calendar/february-2016/kid-koalas-nufonia-must-fall\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Nufonia Must Fall\u003c/a>\u003c/em> at the Bing Concert Hall, Stanford\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nKid Koala (aka Eric San) has made a career of entertaining audiences around the globe with his turntables. He’s toured with the Beastie Boys and Radiohead. But there’s a lot more to the Canadian scratch DJ’s art practice than spinning records. His enchanting 2003 graphic novel \u003cem>Nufonia Must Fall\u003c/em> about an inept robot’s attempt to woo a busy girl with his love songs has been turned into a live show featuring puppets, live music and silent film. What’s more, the audience gets to see the production crew pulling the show together in real-time before their very eyes: puppeteers animate miniature puppets, the Afiara Quartet provides the musical accompaniment on strings and piano, and Kid Koala does his stuff on the decks. Spike Jonze collaborator and \u003cem>Her\u003c/em> Oscar nominee K. K. Barrett keeps things thrumming along in his role as director. The action, skilfully edited in the moment, comes alive on a big screen above the stage with the aid of GoPro cameras that film the scenes. The show has already gotten great reviews in cities like New York and Toronto and is attracting a big crowd to Stanford.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11280574\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11280574\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/01/Rosselyn-Ramirez-and-Raymond-Tilton-in-Photo-from-George-Balanchine%E2%80%99s-Apollo.-Photo-Berenger-Zyla-e1453930486331-800x545.jpg\" alt=\"Rosselyn Ramirez and Raymond Tilton in Photo from George Balanchine’s Apollo.\" width=\"800\" height=\"545\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/01/Rosselyn-Ramirez-and-Raymond-Tilton-in-Photo-from-George-Balanchine’s-Apollo.-Photo-Berenger-Zyla-e1453930486331-800x545.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/01/Rosselyn-Ramirez-and-Raymond-Tilton-in-Photo-from-George-Balanchine’s-Apollo.-Photo-Berenger-Zyla-e1453930486331-400x273.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/01/Rosselyn-Ramirez-and-Raymond-Tilton-in-Photo-from-George-Balanchine’s-Apollo.-Photo-Berenger-Zyla-e1453930486331-768x524.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/01/Rosselyn-Ramirez-and-Raymond-Tilton-in-Photo-from-George-Balanchine’s-Apollo.-Photo-Berenger-Zyla-e1453930486331-1180x804.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/01/Rosselyn-Ramirez-and-Raymond-Tilton-in-Photo-from-George-Balanchine’s-Apollo.-Photo-Berenger-Zyla-e1453930486331-1920x1309.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/01/Rosselyn-Ramirez-and-Raymond-Tilton-in-Photo-from-George-Balanchine’s-Apollo.-Photo-Berenger-Zyla-e1453930486331-960x654.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Rosselyn Ramirez and Raymond Tilton in Photo from George Balanchine’s Apollo. \u003ccite>(Photo: Berenger Zyla)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Friday, Feb. 5 and Saturday, Feb. 6: Diablo Ballet presents \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://diabloballet.org/performances/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Precision and Balance\u003c/a>\u003c/em> at Del Valle Theatre, Walnut Creek\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nOne of the things I love about the Bay Area is that even small cities are able to sustain rarefied things like professional dance companies.

This week, the company is presenting the George Balanchine masterpiece \u003cem>Apollo\u003c/em>, which the iconic American choreographer described as his artistic coming of age. The program also includes Tina Kay Bohnstedt’s \u003cem>My Way\u003c/em>, a charismatic piece set to an arrangement of Frank Sinatra songs, as well as \u003cem>Milieu\u003c/em> by Robert Dekkers, which includes a live performance of a commissioned score by Daniel Berkman.

With today’s job market being so tight, it’s a situation to which many a young graduate can relate. Rosenstock, who served as a writer and editor on the Fox TV series \u003cem>New Girl\u003c/em>, has a flair for finding levity in dark situations. The comedy’s original off-Broadway run in 2010 was a “Critic’s Pick” in \u003cem>The New York Times\u003c/em> and went on to impress Bay Area audiences when SF Playhouse produced the show in 2011. For the South Bay premiere, San Jose’s City Lights Theater Company has assembled a lively local cast under the direction of Virginia Drake.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Now through Sunday, Jan. 31: Theatre Rhinoceros presents \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://www.therhino.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">A Song at Twilight\u003c/a>\u003c/em> at Z Below, San Francisco\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nNoel Coward is much better known for bombastic comedies like \u003cem>Hay Fever\u003c/em> and \u003cem>Private Lives\u003c/em> than he is for this bittersweet little drama, penned late in the flamboyant entertainer’s career. But Theatre Rhino’s sensitive-piquant production of \u003cem>A Song at Twilight\u003c/em> makes a convincing case for measuring the play alongside his most well-known works. Set in a Swiss hotel in the mid 1960s, the drama outs the closeted homosexual feelings of a revered, aristocratic author, Sir Hugo Latymer, in the autumn of his life. Theatre Rhino artistic director John Fisher brings gusto and sadness to his intimately-detailed portrayal of the central character, a stand-in for Coward himself, who never fully confronted his own sexuality during his life. Fisher’s fellow actors, especially Sylvia Kratins as Latymer’s canny old flame Carlotta Gray, imbue this well-cast production with humor and pathos.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11257170\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11257170\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/01/Delina-Patrica-Delina-Patrica-Brooks-Photo-by-Alan-Kimara-e1453158385302-800x519.jpg\" alt=\"Delina Patrica Brooks in the D.I.R.T.

With today’s job market being so tight, it’s a situation to which many a young graduate can relate. Rosenstock, who served as a writer and editor on the Fox TV series \u003cem>New Girl\u003c/em>, has a flair for finding levity in dark situations. The comedy’s original off-Broadway run in 2010 was a “Critic’s Pick” in \u003cem>The New York Times\u003c/em> and went on to impress Bay Area audiences when SF Playhouse produced the show in 2011. For the South Bay premiere, San Jose’s City Lights Theater Company has assembled a lively local cast under the direction of Virginia Drake.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Now through Sunday, Jan. 31: Theatre Rhinoceros presents \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://www.therhino.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">A Song at Twilight\u003c/a>\u003c/em> at Z Below, San Francisco\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nNoel Coward is much better known for bombastic comedies like \u003cem>Hay Fever\u003c/em> and \u003cem>Private Lives\u003c/em> than he is for this bittersweet little drama, penned late in the flamboyant entertainer’s career. But Theatre Rhino’s sensitive-piquant production of \u003cem>A Song at Twilight\u003c/em> makes a convincing case for measuring the play alongside his most well-known works. Set in a Swiss hotel in the mid 1960s, the drama outs the closeted homosexual feelings of a revered, aristocratic author, Sir Hugo Latymer, in the autumn of his life. Theatre Rhino artistic director John Fisher brings gusto and sadness to his intimately-detailed portrayal of the central character, a stand-in for Coward himself, who never fully confronted his own sexuality during his life. Fisher’s fellow actors, especially Sylvia Kratins as Latymer’s canny old flame Carlotta Gray, imbue this well-cast production with humor and pathos.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11257170\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11257170\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/01/Delina-Patrica-Delina-Patrica-Brooks-Photo-by-Alan-Kimara-e1453158385302-800x519.jpg\" alt=\"Delina Patrica Brooks in the D.I.R.T.
