BASH
Latterday plays by Neil LaBute
Performance dates :
Tuesday April 27th - Saturday May 1st at 7.45 p.m.
Matinée on Saturday May 1st at 3 p.m.
This production will be performed at Theatro Technis, Camden Town.
Rehearsals will start shortly.
The Director writes :
Bash is a triptych of darkly brilliant one-act
plays, presenting apparently moral characters telling us their less-than-moral tales.
They combine the American dream with Greek tragedy and the rigidity of religion - the
"latterday" of the title refers to the Church of Jesus Christ of the Latterday Saints, or
Mormons, of which Neil Labute was a member for many years.
The plays are :
Iphigenia in Orem : A Utah businessman confides in a stranger in a Las Vegas hotel room, and confesses to a chilling crime.
A Gaggle of Saints : A young Mormon couple recount the violent events of an
anniversary weekend in New York.
Medea Redux : A woman tells of her complex and ultimately tragic relationship with her junior high-school English teacher.
All three are unblinking portraits of the evils that are abroad in everyday life;
each is distinguished by writing that is raw yet lyrical.
The Cast is :
Iphigenia in Orem
Man : Alex Barker
A Gaggle of Saints
John : Nathan Brown
Sue : Emma Spence
Medea Redux
Woman : Jill Ruane
