PAST PERFORMANCES:
Midnight Brainwash Revival (2001)
The West Coast premiere of this outrageous verse comedy by Kirk Wood Bromley was a mad circus of post-modern language and antics. False prophets roll across the desert and desperate tourists pony up cold hard cash for a glimpse at phony messiahs. This fantastical exploration of life in America during “The End-Times” is a hilarious bag of tricks, both delightful and nasty. In this sprawling modern verse play reminiscent of Shakespeare’s comedies, the fate of the Southwestern desert is at stake, gambled over by the nefarious real estate developer Mordecon (”Being large is my way of saying “Thank you!” to the world.”), the mythological song dog Coyote, a pair of deranged truckers, and more.
“Exceptional…a brilliant barrage of wordplay and low comedy.” - SF Bay Guardian
“This irreverent and apocalyptic play is one of the most original I’ve seen in a while.” – San Francisco Weekly
