Hell and a Handbag has hit pay dirt with The Golden Girls parodies recently and they are back with another production called The Golden Girls: Bea Afraid! - The Halloween Edition. Gay audiences especially have missed their elder TV stars and seem thirsty for more episodes.
This time it's a short run at Stage 773 playing now through Nov. 3 with the remaining tickets at HandbagProductions.org.
The first act is strong with the cast fitting into their roles with each show. The second act grows a little long in the tooth with Adrian Hadlock really going for the gross out as a possessed Sophia. Overall Bea brings the laughs with guests like Robert Williams who almost steals the show before it's over.
