Offending the Audience
Sarah performed in Offending the Audience at the Flea Theater, a subversive classic written by Austrian writer Peter Handke. It was directed by Jim Simpson, Obie-winning artistic director of the Flea Theater, and featured 21 of the Flea's resident acting ensemble the Bats.
“Here's my question for the long line of young performers who take turns blowing the minds of any square from the 1960s who just arrived downtown from a time machine: Why are you so adorable?”
“…Offending the Audience may be the liveliest downtown piece you'll see this year.”
“…a great demonstration of the range and versatility of both the Flea Theatre and its resident acting company”

“All the actors in this production deliver noteworthy performances, but special mention goes to Sarah Silk in the smaller, supporting role of Michelle, Ben's French girlfriend. As the young soubrette in love with an older man, Silk embodies all the qualities of a young girl foolishly in love for the first time. She beams as Ben pontificates about love and life, and their loud, orgasmic lovemaking to Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture is only fitting for the uninhibited and newly in love. Silk also carries off Michelle’s accent with natural aplomb.”
“Another stand-out is Sarah Silk as Michelle, the 21 year old French lover of 50 year old Ben (Christopher McCann). Though she is not long on stage, her final diatribe at Ben is a gem…”
