THE PINEAPPLE QUEEN Plays At La Boite 7/28-8/8
THE PINEAPPLE QUEEN is raw and confronting theatre. A dark fable and a dance macabre.
All she ever wanted was to be crowned the Glasshouse District Pineapple Queen, wear wonderful dresses, watch romantic movies, and catch the eye of a handsome young man. But when her dancing courtship with William Holden intensifies she is forced to confront the reality of her existence.
I've always wanted to be loved in the afternoon and into the night. With white swans gliding on a river and the moon hanging out of the sky, like Audrey Hepburn in 'Funny Face' dancing with Fred Astaire...
