Goodnight, Sweet Prince, written by Barbara Bleier, performed by Dara O'Brien and Tom Lacey, directed by Cheryl King
A fractured fairy tale that riffs on how romantic love has been defined through the ages.  Mud Offerings, written and performed by Natalie Goodnow, directed by Dino Foxx and kt shorb (Sep 25 only) A Chicanita has it out with the Virgen de Guadalupe. This piece is a solo play unraveling the culturally complicated truths, lies and mythologies of women's spirituality and sexuality in contexts of violence and betrayal. Winner of the 2011 Jane Chambers Playwriting Contest. A Transylvanian offers outlandish solutions to women’s chronic tribulations
The kaleidoscopic layers in Ella Veres's work make her voice utterly unique. She has all the dignity of Transylvanian royalty, yet a fearless and unashamed attitude towards sex. She combines an open mind that is able to benefit (orgasmically) by an inane women's magazine article with a down-to-earth wisdom that ruthlessly skewers absurdity. Finally, she is not afraid to explore the vagaries of fantasy or the human mind. She lures us into her exploratory journey with gentle humor, then proceeds to take a path few guides would dare to tread.
Patrick Mullowney, American playwright and theater critic based in Budapest |
