A mildly explicit snippet from New York Magazine’s rather more explicit profile of The Box, a NYC nightclub notorious for its sex shows put on for the benefit of the well-heeled:
“When Hammerstein opened The Box in February 2007, it was a conscious attempt to introduce something different to New York nightlife—and for him, a departure from the world of theater. The grandson of the lyricist Oscar Hammerstein II, he had spent a handful of years in New York trying to make it as a theater director, with unsatisfying results. ‘All my friends who I would go out at night with and drink with, they had no interest in seeing plays,’ he says. ‘It wasn’t in their vocabulary. It was very frustrating to think that you could dedicate your life to an art form that no one gave a shit about.'”
The poor guy. Thank goodness he found a solution.
