When an anorexic soap star fed up with the philandering ways of her politically radical Kerouac wanna-be boyfriend finally snaps and commits murder, she desperately enlists the aid of her brother Roland to cover up the crime. But her social worker sibling is busy with his own project; "reforming" a dangerous young street hustler with a penchant for drugs and a flair for the dramatic....
From the company that brought you Dostoevsky Trip and The Little Tragedies comes The Altruists, a dark farce penned by the enfant terrible of downtown New York theatre, Nicky Silver. With political incorrectness, hysterical tantrums, neurosis, ketosis, murder, and enough sex to satisfy you for hours no matter what your orientation.
The Altruists is a rare treat for those who enjoy their comedy served black, with a dash of razor sharp humour and biting wit.
Featuring Mel Dodge, Ben Fransham & Desiree Cheer
