Clinton Brandhagen and Heather Bagnall Lead LOVE, SEX, ANARCHY Reading Tonight at Guild Hall
Clinton Brandhagen (MASTERCLASS/Broadway) has been cast as Fedya, one of several lovers of Emma Goldman, the anarchist and subject of a new play LOVE, SEX, ANARCHY, which will be given a staged reading at the John Drew Theater at Guild Hall, East Hampton, NY, tonight, Oct 4, at 7:30pm.
Heather Bagnall (SINGLEMARRIED GIRL) is featured as Emma Goldman, once dubbed "the most dangerous woman in America."
LOVE, SEX, ANARCHY, written by Melissa Bell (COURAGE/NACL Theatre; DEVIL & THE DEEP/Theatre East), is the recipient of a Puffin Grant for Theater, and is based on the loves of Emma Goldman. Escaping a brutal childhood and the monotony of factory work in Russia, Emma Goldman arrives in New York City, ripe for the Anarchist philosophy. A fiery speaker, proponent of woman's reproductive rights and practitioner of Free Love, she becomes caught up in a passionate affair with Ben Reitman, a womanizer and self-diagnosed sex addict. Can Emma reconcile her political idealism with her all too human emotions?
The cast also features Kyle Minshew (DEVIL AND THE DEEP/Theatre East, PROMETHEUS BOUND/NYTW) as Alexander "Sasha" Berkman, the infamous anarchist, who attempted to assassinate Henry Clay Frick. Also featured is Beau Allen, a veteran of three Broadway shows: JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR, TWO GENTLEMEN OF VERONA, and THE BEST LITTLE WHOREHOUSE IN TEXAS. Off-Off Broadway include Tennessee Williams' 1982 at Walkerspace. Jamal Crowelle (Jedi Master Vanzell/Disney) and Pamela Karp (The Wheatfield/Soho Rep) and Luke Tudball (FERDINAND) round out the caSt. Luke Tudball also directs.
The show features a soundscape by NY-based composer/arranger Josh Freilich (A NEW BRAIN/vocal arrangements). Produced in association with Tasty Monster Productions.
The reading will take place at the John Drew Theater at Guild Hall, 158 Main Street, East Hampton, NY. The event is Free and a talk-back will be held afterwards.
