Time, A Fair Hustler

“Hand2Mouth are great experimenters with theatrical form and I look forward to seeing what they do with "My Own Private Idaho". I am sure it will be fantastic. - Gus Van Sant

Twenty-five years ago, Gus Van Sant's film "My Own Private Idaho" showed the world a decomposing Portland of wanderers, hustlers and thieves. Its characters were restless and free, but bound together by the perils and pleasures of a seedy city. Hand2Mouth’s new play asks where they are now. Have they been destroyed or absorbed by a changing Portland? In Time, A Fair Hustler, six characters witness, remember, and recover their past to reveal where we have come from and what we have become.

In parallel with the show H2M presented Portland: Then & Now, a series of free public events following each Sunday matinee of Time, A Fair Hustler. A panel, a walking tour and a funeral provided a context for us to consider the changes in Portland over the past 25 years.
