In the fall of 2012, the ArcLight Theatre on Seventy-First Street in Manhattan had bed bugs. They wore tight shiny costumes and wild helmets with antennae, buggy eyes, and sharp teeth, and they sang and danced in a circle around a disheveled woman in a lab coat on a stack of garbage bags.
Of course, the ArcLight didn’t actually have bedbugs. It had Bedbugs!, the eponymous Off-Broadway sci-fi rock opera.
