Amber Morrow's boyfriend is dead, but she still wants to break up with him. The fact that her parents worship him as a messiah is irritating, too -- she must find out, as they say, how to deal. The Cutting Ball Theater's world-premiere production of Kevin Oakes' The Vomit Talk of Ghosts will hopefully stick close to the troupe's stated mission to "reveal a poetic truth as opposed to a realistic or naturalistic one," because as the plot stands, we don't want to know what "really" happens when you channel a guy, have sex while he's possessing you, and then try to dump him. But given that this group isn't afraid of heavy experimental-theater hitters like Vladimir Mayakovsky (Cutting Ball produced the Russian futurist's Mayakovsky: A Tragedy), it can probably pull the poetic truth out of anything. The curtain rises at 8 tonight (and Vomit Talk continues through Aug. 16) at the Exit on Taylor, 277 Taylor (between Eddy and Ellis), S.F. Admission is $12-20; call 419-3584 or visit www.cuttingball.com.
