A genderqueer look at sexual predation by O.W.I. resident playwright Shaoul Rick Chason, "Berlin; or, The Part of You That Wants it: A Musical Comedy Love Story (Written by Accident)" is an irreverent vaudeville about an American rapist who goes to Berlin and inadvertently starts a genderfucked feminist revolution of anarchy and turmoil, staged in a Brechtian burlesque of epic theatre. With Eric McGowan, Erin Reilly and Patrick McCarthy.
From the playwright, Shaoul Rick Chason, "I wrote BERLIN out of a desire to critique a new trend... Our communities of thought, despite noble aims, are actively encouraging anti-intellectual, morally simplistic discourse on the complicated issues of gender identity, race relations, and politics that ultimately stifle progressive liberation of oppression more than they support said liberation."
