 a
one-night-only staged reading of
A MAN'S A MAN
by Bertolt Brecht
Monday, April 6th @ 7:30pm
ADMISSION FREE/DONATIONS WELCOME!
Subversive Theatre is proud to present a staged reading of the masterful
anti-war spoof A MAN'S A MAN by the single most respected political
playwright of all time -- Bertolt Brecht. Directed by Drew McCabe, this
event features the acting talents of Patrick Cameron, Christopher
Standart*,
Candice Kogut*, Mike Renna, Arin Dandes, Joy Scime, Greg Przybylak, Amelia
Kraatz, Kurt Erb, Valerie Yawein, Paige Mingus, Matt Nerber, RJ Voltz, and
Noelle Wright.
A MAN'S A MAN
is an epic tale of everyday civilian Gally Gay who is brainwashed and
dehumanized until he transforms into the ultimate
fighting machine. In this, his first epic play, Brecht uses a
wild blend of slapstick comedy, dance hall bravado, clowning, exaggerated
movements, mixing of his unmistakably unique verbal style with many
mind-bending twists on historical details.
Especially
relevant to the issues of today in the light of the wars in the Middle
East and our country's conflicted national identity, A MAN'S A MAN
leads audiences to wonder whether our own people have turned into a nation of
Gally Gay's -- everyday citizens on a quest to feed their families turned
into killing machines in an unethical war.
All shows at Subversive Theatre's recently established performance space, The
Manny Fried Playhouse on the third floor of North Buffalo's Great Arrow
Building, located at 255 Great Arrow Avenue. Admission is free with donations
gratefully accepted before and after all shows. Seating is on a first-come,
first-served basis with doors opening half an hour before the performance.
