"Esther Kahn", my alter ego, plays Blanche Dubois, Stanley Kowalski, and many others as she battles with herself with the madness of a jealous lover. A believer in True Love and old fashioned values, Esther is nevertheless a depressed cynic, longing for romance in a cool amnesiac world. An extremely low-budget venture, Cheap Philosophy is a voice of isolation, political hopelessness, and a backlash against long years of lesbian political debate that has excluded the Jew, the drama-queen, the depressive, the diva and the romantic tragic figure. But ultimately Cheap Philosophy is self-analytical comedy, with tragic undercurrents, or vice versa...RN.
