Charles Busch, an actor and playwright more often seen in drag, rehearsed his ambitious world-premiere work "The Third Story" at La Jolla Playhouse.
You might assume that a playwright whose latest work involves a fairy-tale Russian witch, human replication and an omnipotent "mob queen" is not terribly taken with reality.

But it turns out Charles Busch is a big fan. Not of the metaphysical construct (not necessarily that, anyway), but rather of the television genre.
