No one will be turned away who is unable to pay. The Spring season of D3C is presented by BrooklynONE Productions (bkONE), and continues the 14th year of original indie theater from D3C. Each performance features a deluxe reissue: one play drawn from the previous 13 seasons along with "B-Sides," which are new plays written as a companion piece to the older work.
"I have Known Many Grim and Loveless Gods" debuted on October 24, 2019 at Von Wine Bar and features Conan the Barbarian creator Robert E. Howard on the last day of his life, reckoning with his creations and his mother's illness.
"I have Known Many Grim and Loveless Gods" is presented along with two new plays: "I Died Yesterday," which finds pulp heroine Patricia Savage investigating her own murder with the aid of the two primary suspects, and "I Dream of Rain and the History of the Gun," where a pulp era vigilante reflects on the life that made him into a weapon.
The night also includes a "liner notes" presentation from Gracia discussing the background, historical context, and process behind the plays.
The cast features Al Accettura, Ashlie Atkinson, Jessica Bathurst, Jake Goodman, Anthony Noto, Steve Weinblatt and Jennie West.
