Notes: | The play calls for a theatre with a fairly large sized lobby, since the action flows between spaces. The whole play is scripted (even what seems improvisational) but there are several sections where the beats are determined but the actual interactions can vary. Also calls for the creation of an imaginary theatre company that partners with the sponsoring theatre. Done well, you may get shouting patrons, police calls, fights, and breakdowns. . .be prepared. | |||||
Synopsis: | The always wild Immanence Theatre Artists return to the theatre after their latest arrest with an evening of postmodern fables. In "The Coffeehouse Stage", "Xeera's Night", and "The Spoiled Child" they confront constructions of fables, challenge ideas of gender, and question modern success. But since they're a 'site-specific' company the confines of a stage are challenging - and they attract chaos from the moment the lobby opens till the end of the show. The evenings interruptions build to crisis as the Magistrate of Theatre is revealed in the audience. Who will control this night of art and theatre, and will the audience ever know what is real or not? | |||||
