Synopsis: | The full title of this new play by Kiran Rikhye is: The Accidental Patriot: The Lamentable Tragedy of the Pirate Desmond Connelly, Irish By Birth, English By Blood, and American By Inclination. This description is from director Jon Stancato: "The Accidental Patriot is an original 1930s-style swashbuckler (as Sophocles might have written it if he'd been under contract to Warner Brothers) set against the tumultuous backdrop of the American Revolution. This mash-up of Greek tragedy and Errol Flynn-era pirate films features both rapier duels and rapier wit as it satirizes heroism, patriotism, altruism, and all of the other flimsy isms that move us to action. British privateer Desmond Connelly takes up the colonists' cause when a British admiral murders his best friend, a Bostonian patriot. He abandons his post to become a pirate, seeking his vengeance and sailing towards the destiny that will reveal his mysterious parentage." Live naval battles are promised. | |||||

Synopsis: | described as a gender farce in Elizabethan blank verse, freely inspired by John Lyly's Gallathea and also as an ode to the Ridiculous aesthetic of the late Charles Ludlam. This description is from the press release: "Two doting single parents independently disguise their chaste young daughters as men and send them off into a nearby forest to bide time until Neptune has had his fill at the village's annual sacrifice of young virgins. Gallathea and Phyllida, each believing the other to be a man, fall deeply in love&and lust. In their quests to obtain the objects of their affection, the two newly gender-questioning protagonists learn that love is blind and lust is blinder." | |||||

Synopsis: | This is a new "unholy hybrid" play by Kiran Rikhye, presented by Stolen Chair Theatre Company. This description is provided by the Organisations: "Theatre is Dead and So Are You is an irreverent funeral for the stage. A ragtag bunch of variety hacks are laying their sometimes beloved MC to rest, performing his funeral live, traveling from city to city, until such time as his body is too decomposed to make the proceedings pleasant. Their 'eulogies' are performed a la classic variety, with slapstick, melodrama, song & dance, and feats of illusion and mentalism, each taking its own deadly turn as they celebrate the life and death of their dearly departed dead dead dead friend. Even in their joyous performance, a spectre looms as each knows they've all been exposed to the fatal disease that killed their MC: Life. Watch these seasoned has-beens kill theatre, live before your very eyes." | |||||
