This background info is provided by the author: "In October 2005, Inverse Theater Company, along with La MaMa founder Ellen Stewart and Mabou Mines' puppeteer Basil Twist, was given a special award for continuous achievement on off-off-Broadway by the New York Innovative Theater Awards. Upon receiving the award, artistic director/playwright Kirk Wood Bromley said to the audience that he felt the term 'off-off-Broadway' should be dropped and the term 'Indie Theater' should be taken up instead, primarily to shed the pejorative sense of 'off-off' and to assume the marketing power of the term 'Indie'. In response to Bromley's suggestion, a movement of hundreds of Indie Theater artists has begun, led by Martin Denton of nytheatre.com. No More Pretending is Bromley's new three-person play that serves as both a response to and dialogue with this movement, tackling the many ideas and struggles inherent in the battle to be 'independent' in a world in which freedom is a market."

Taking as its starting point the recent 'functional extinction' of the baiji, or white river dolphin of the Yangtze, the play moves through various dramatic story-lines using dialogue and music, all of it centered on the question of what a play called 'me' should be about. The myth of the origin of the white dolphin (a girl thrown into the Yangtze because she refused his choice in marriage), discourses on definitions of self, and personal parental histories of the author all find their place in this swirling, humorous, riveting and challenging work | |||||

Synopsis: | When Kirk Wood Bromley set out to write a play about himself, the result was something other than a simple autobiography. Similar to Charlie Kaufman's film Adaptation, where the author set out to adapt a novel but ended up writing a film about a writer trying to adapt a novel, Me is a theatrical meditation on self-identity, where Bromley starts out looking to write a play about himself and takes detours through his personal relationship with his placenta, the recent extinction of the white river dolphin of the Yangtze in China, and just what exactly he means when he says, 'I am the chosen fish, chosen by me / To save the planet from humanity'. The myth of the origin of the white dolphin (a girl thrown into the Yangtze river because she refused to marry), discourses on definitions of self, and personal parental histories of the author all find their place in this swirling, humorous and challenging work. The play culminates with a live fish being brought on stage and the audience being asked to decide one question: should the fish be pulled from its tank and sacrificed for the play? | |||||
