Graham Bailey
Ensemble
Graham Bailey lived in NYC for 11 years and now lives in Pittsburgh, but he is back in NYC for a week to do a show about his favorite thing: doors. Recently, he has been getting really into Sichuan home cooking after purchasing a wok, which can be had for around 35 dollars from Wokshop.com. You can also find a beautifully-seasoned wok in many of the fine grocery stores which populate Manhattan's Chinatown and Queens' Flushing. Their unparalleled ability to transfer heat quickly makes protein and vegetables a snap, and lends a smoky sear, popularly known as "wok hei", to anything cooked within at high heat. The crowning achievement of his life has been successfully turning 4 pounds of pork belly into a delicious red-braised stew, which fed his entire household for a solid week. He has also done some theater. Love to Joe Boover for creating these spectacularly idiosyncratic characters and the tunes they sing, to Alison for letting me borrow the car, to Brent for being my brother, and to all my friends, who have kept me afloat for so much of this odd and perilous season.
