Kickstarter Play with an Asexual Character
I found this while poking around Google's blog search. I've never heard of the playwright before, I have no idea if the play is any good, and I've got no clue if the treatment of asexuality will be any good. Nonetheless, I thought many of you would be interested in taking a look at this. Presented for your perusal:

"During that spiritual ninety minutes, the wheels began turning on this little play about an unlikely relationship which develops between an asexual tattooist and his client. I've been interested for some time in exploring asexuality in my work and the challenges asexuals face living in a sexual world. And it seemed the art, the act of tattooing - let’s be honest, tattoos are hot - is intimate and erotic, and an odd vocation for a man without sexual desire.
So here I am, joining a growing movement: playwrights producing their own work and not waiting for artistic directors or theatre companies to call. But I can't do this alone. BAREBACK INK opens in Washington, DC on July 13 for sixteen performances at the Capital Fringe Festival - and our opening at Edinburgh Fringe is up to you and my first Kickstarter project which, if successful, will take me and my cast of two, local actors DC Cathro and D. Grant Cloyd, to the UK in August."
