Bob Brader Presents 'Preparation Hex' at FRIGID NY Fest

FRIGID New York will present the John Montgomery Theatre Company production of Preparation Hex, written and performed by Bob Brader and directed and developed by Suzanne Bachner, February 28 - March 9, 2008 at the Red Room (85 East 4th St.).

"Who would put a hex on me?" is the question Bob Brader tries to answer in his new dark comedic monologue from the creative team who brought you Spitting In The Face Of The Devil.  Preparation Hex is about hemorrhoids - and it's a love story. A dark comic and highly personal solo show in the vein of Spalding Gray and Mike Daisey, Preparation Hex is about a hemorrhoid, but is at its heart, a love story.  When Bob discovers he has a debilitating hemorrhoid and a savage review, he is thrown into a panic and is convinced he is hexed. While taking sitz baths to relieve the pain, he becomes obsessed with the people whom he believes may have hexed him.  As Bob tries to find a cure before his upcoming performance, we learn about him getting involved with all the wrong women, meeting the woman of his dreams, and all the people that stand in his way - including himself.

Bob Brader's last solo show, the critically acclaimed Spitting In The Face Of The Devil, ran for two and a half months at The Red Room last summer and played to a standing room only crowd at the Fletcher Gallery in Woodstock, NY.

Lighting Design and Technical Direction is by Douglas Shearer.
