Ink Spot reading of Kayfabe; a new play by Madison Mondeaux

Eric, a closeted gay professional wrestler, finds freedom in performing as Viktor Cain, a villainous character built from homophobic stereotypes. When Eric begins a secret romance with the up-and-coming rookie Adrian Mercury, he begins to lose control of his persona. As the boundary between the ring and the real world blurs, Eric must confront the parts of himself he’s learned to hate, or relinquish his life to Viktor Cain.
