![]() ![]() ![]() One night, after a punk concert, they go in search of a party they heard about but end up knocking on the wrong door. Somehow, though, at parties he’s the one who ends up in the kitchen talking to someone’s mum. Neil Gaiman’s sly short story has been lovingly adapted by John Cameron Mitchell (“Hedwig and the Angry Inch,” “Rabbit Hole”), with a breakout performance by Tony-winner Alex Sharp as Enn (short for Henry), a sweet-natured kid who, like his two best friends, loves punk and really, really, really wants to learn how to talk to girls. In How to Talk to Girls at Parties, Americans, girls, and aliens - they’re all equally unknown, and so, for these boys anyway, easy to confuse. But they are not very knowledgeable about anything outside of their own experience, and so when they accidentally wander into a strange party that happens to be a bunch of aliens, they just assume that they must be American girls. Three suburban British schoolboys in the 1990’s are big fans of punk because it seems thrilling to challenge authority and pretty much everything. ![]()
