Trivia

* The play's author, journalist Peter Braunstein, was arrested on December 16, 2005 for sexually assaulting a woman on Halloween while posing as a New York City firefighter. On January 5, 2006, he pleaded "not guilty" to charges of sexual abuse, arson, kidnapping, burglary and robbery.

* During the run of the play, it was claimed in publicity material that Misha Sedgwick was Edie Sedgwick's niece and this misidentification persisted in the media for more than a year.
