Synopsis: | Three desperate souls adrift at sea await a maddeningly cruel fate bestowed on them by an angry God. A comedy which may or may not have absolutely nothing to do with race, (oh my god I am so) THIRST(y) is a slight adaptation of Eugene O'Neill's Thirst (1914), written while the playwright was confined to a sanatorium in rural Connecticut. One of O'Neill's earliest plays, Thirst evolved out of the playwright's obsession with the Titanic disaster and his distaste for the melodramatic theater of his father, James O'Neill. (oh my god I am so) THIRST(y) is at once grotesque melodrama, gothic horror, campy musical theater, and engrossing telenovela. | |||||

Notes: | - | |||||
Synopsis: | An eccentric musical extravaganza that joyously plunders Victor Herbert's 1903 operetta Babes in Toyland. In this anarchic and awkwardly sincere incarnation, Little Lord's Babes in Toyland is stripped-down to make the most of the original script's absurd, nonsensical plot about a pair of young lovers and their fantastical journey from Mother Goose Village to Toyland. Staged as a "recession spectacular," its world is one of brightly painted cardboard and shoddy spectacle, with a cast of five playing over two-dozen roles. Pillaging the foggy recollections of its adapter/director Michael Levinton who appeared for seven years in a Baltimore community theater production of Babes in Toyland in his youth Babes conjures a nostalgia for made-up memories in a land of manufactured make-believe. | |||||
