Incubator Arts Project Presents THIRST(Y)
by Nicole Rosky - Sep 16, 2010


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 one of Eugene O'Neill's earliest plays, THIRST (1914), written while the playwright was confined to a sanatorium in rural Connecticut. THIRST had a single production in 1916 with the Provincetown Players, in which O'Neill himself originated the role of the Negro Sailor. The play subsequently sank into obscurity. Despite its rough edges, THIRST hints at O'Neill's later experiments with expressionism and American myth, as well as his forays into the dark underbelly of modernity. Creating a new work based on this public domain text, Little Lord exploits O'Neill's wildly imaginative assault on the very nature of performance and the possibilities of the theater. (oh my god I am so) THIRST(y) is at once grotesque melodrama, gothic horror, campy musical theater, and engrossing telenovela- a fantastical mix of No Exit, Waiting for Godot, The Count of Monte Cristo, 'Amos and Andy,' and Open Water.
