INSIDIOUS, by Ibn Shabazz, is a powerful cautionary tale woven deeply into the fabric of the modern urban arena of substance abuse and the "Down Low", the secretive world of African American gay sex. Road Less Traveled describes INSIDIOUS as the story of " a man (who) struggles against his darkest demons... as personified by a charismatic street hustler who will not take "no" for an answer. An unflinchingly potent tour through the inner hell of addiction." And so it is.
Mr. Shabazz's story is not a pretty one, but it is a compelling one, a tragedy which shines a blazing light on the destruction which flows from this deliberately furtive lifestyle. No doubt INSIDIOUS, which contains adult themes, foul language and explicit sexual content will not appeal to all theatergoers, which is a shame, because this play also makes for very good theatre.
What might have been a flat public health service announcement wrapped in a rap song, is instead a multi-dimensional
