Photo Flash: Martin Shkreli Goes From Trial to Off- Broadway in PHARMABRO: AN AMERICAN DOUCHICAL
By: A.A. Cristi May. 15, 2017
PharmaBro: An American Douchical!, written and produced by: Lauren Gundrum & Joel Esher and directed by Tyler Spicer, will premiere Off-Broadway with a limited engagement, six week run at the Players Theatre from May 11th - June 18th, 2017.
PharmaBro is about - you guessed it - "pharma bro" Martin Shkreli, the ex-Pharmaceuticals CEO who raised the price of Daraprim by 5000% and will be facing trial on June 26th, 2017 - eight days after the show closes. The producers are excited to pay Shkreli a proper tribute before he marches off to prison.
The show satirizes Shkreli's bizarre purchase of a certain one-of-a-kind hip-hop album, and the ensuing heist by said hip-hop group to get it back. It is a timely examination of corporate greed, the American Dream gone wrong, the influence of the media, and the importance of art. Shkreli is very much an ambassador of Trump's America (he even pledged to release the album if Trump won, but then of course didn't) - and this show gives the audience a chance to root against Shkreli and all that he represents, while tapping their toes to some fun, catchy tunes. I mean, who doesn't want to watch Shkreli ride around on a hoverboard and get his ass handed to
him?
