author Frank Cwiklik, music and lyrics by Eric Matthews

DM Theatrics presents the third installment in the "Badass Record Collection" series, Bible and Wine. This blend of music, movement, dance, story, and design uses the music of pop maestro Eric Matthews as inspiration for a meditation on history, faith, lust, and immortality. Loosely inspired by Chaucer's masterwork The Canterbury Tales and the art of the high Middle Ages, Bible and Wine is a daring and unique event which combines director Frank Cwiklik's trademark immersive theater mindscapes with movement, dance, and performance with the music of one of the most engaging and exciting recording artists of the past twenty years. As night falls on the Empyrean Museum of Medieval Ephemera, the spirits of the Middle Ages slowly come to life, performing an ethereal masquerade for an invisible audience, their loves, lives, lusts, and triumphs transformed into a moving and haunting pageant of movement and performance. From the revered Saints Francis and Hildegard to the royal personage of Constantine XI, to the hardscrabble and relatable day to day lives of the average peasant or noble knight, the long dead voices of the ancient past tell their stories in their own words, in their own ways, reaching across time and history to touch and inspire us anew.

In a dark and stony cathedral, a pair of dominas divine a prophecy in the whip-worn scars of a penitent slave's back. Macbeth is chosen, a long, hard road, a climb. As he and his Femme rise, kill, and slaughter, the House of Asbury, torn by addiction and destitution, unravels publicly, sending Prime, a sensitive young girl, into an abyss of sadosexual torment; and her brother, Small, to join his sadoslave and confidante in a burgeoning revolution that may bring about the total destruction of this alien civilization.

This is show is based on a film by camp film director Ed Wood. This description is from the press materials: "Featuring SEVEN-count 'em!-SEVEN luscious, lovely lasses of the underworld, and with NINE-believe it!-NINE big musical numbers, this is the entertainment smorgasbord of the season! SEE the terrifying and mildly irritating MUMMY and WOLFMAN, monstrous minions by day, showbiz hopefuls by night! SEE the EMPEROR and EMPRESS of the Dead, rulers of the dark underworld where the damned go to play, and the sorta-damned sing for their supper! SEE the young and attractive BOB and LINDA, two lovers torn apart in a desperate world of perversion and cheap wigs! SEE the ORGY OF THE DEAD, a parade of pulchritudinous princesses, each reliving her moments of earthly glory in an unearthly proscenium, shaking their zombie goodies with postmortem aplomb! Alternating sexy, dazzling dance numbers with freewheeling, vaudevillian comedy sequences, this is an entertainment juggernaut, a breakneck tour of every style of low-culture, high-hilarity lunacy the late 20th Century had to offer. Who knew the afterlife could be so lively? Equal parts classic burlesque, postmodern satire, '70s variety show, and '60s guerilla theater, Orgy of the Dead packs more show into 60 minutes than most companies produce in a decade-it's loud, it's bright, it's funny, it's daring, it's ridiculous, it's sultry, it's huge, it's mildly entertaining, it's THE ORGY OF THE DEAD! AND IT'S HEADED RIGHT FOR US!

Flying saucers over London! Flying saucers over Hollywood! Flying saucers over Washington, DC! It's a panic! It's a riot! It's the end of the world! It's Plan Nine from Outer Space! Now ALIVE ON STAGE, as brought to you by the miserable souls who previously mangled such great Ed Wood B-Movie epics as Orgy of the Dead, The Sinister Urge!, and The Fugitive Girls, a demolition derby of comedy, a maelstrom of horror, a delicious, devious concoction sure to freeze you to the funny bone! On a windswept Autumn night, a trio of flying saucers descends on a sleepy suburban outpost of Los Angeles, its nefarious power rays dragging the lifeless husks of the recently dead out from their graves, desecrating their undead bodies by making them into shambling zombie thugs ready to do the bidding of their extraterrestrial masters! Only Lt. Matt Carson and his faithful assistant Sgt. Randy Stone can prevent the armies of the beyond from overtaking Hollywood. . . and then the world! SEE Zombies on the loose! SEE a beautiful young newlywed wrenched from her inner sanctum by the mouldering arms of evil! SEE the secret Pentagon base where UFOs are discussed and secretly examined! SEE about one hour and fifty minutes of random crap!

From the files of Edward D. Wood, Jr, universally praised as the most inept screenwriter in movie history, and from director Frank Cwiklik, whose previous excursions into theatrical mayhem resulted in the recent staging of Wood's Orgy of the Dead!, as well as the acclaimed shows Sugarbaby and Antony and Cleopatra, this is The Sinister Urge! - a madcap, livewire, high-octane comedy/burlesque/musical/thriller/exploitation instaclassic! A town held tightly in the clammy grip of terror! A knife-wielding maniac on the loose! Beautiful young girls held hostage by nefarious smut peddlers! A multi-million dollar porn racket! And two hard-bitten, hard-luck cops trying to save us from it all-and largely failing, to be brutally honest. It's all true! It's all real! It's The Sinister Urge! GIRLS, DON'T LET IT HAPPEN TO YOU!

It's cabaret on steroids. It's your music collection come alive. It's all the things you see in your head when you hear the music. It's the Badass Record Collection, an open-ended series of musical extravaganzas, featuring live musical tributes to great composers, performers, and genres of 20th and 21st Century pop music! The inaugural entry in this new series of musical extravaganzas from indie theater impresario Frank Cwiklik and his acclaimed DMTheatrics, Taking Liberties, is a tribute to one of the most acclaimed songwriters and performers of the past thirty years, the legendary Elvis Costello. The agonies and ecstasies of love, lust, and life, the ups and downs of friendships, relationships, and marriage, and the exquisite pains of heartbreak, all are beautifully portrayed in this selection of great compositions by music legend Elvis Costello.
