Generic Theater Showcases Three One-Acts Tonight in WICKED GAMES

By:

The newly launched New Plays & Experimental Work division of The Generic Theater in Norfolk presents a showcase of three one-acts entitled "WICKED GAMES" tonight, July 13 at The Generic Theater.

The showcase explores the depraved recesses of the perverse mind, the power of seducing and dominating others, and the thrill of cruel oppression - often hidden behind an unsuspecting appearance. As exemplified in the play Macbeth, "False face must hide what the false heart doth know."

This year's selections include Sam Cooper's "PsychoSocial", Angela Best's "Room 21F" and an evening with Shakespeare's Lady Macbeth in "She Sleeps No More".

PsychoSocial
by Sam Cooper
2:30 PM

How does the first kill taste? Enter the minds of three psychopathic serial killers. They may be your next door neighbor, your best friend, an ex-lover, or even you. By the time you ask "Why?" it may be too late. A staged reading of a new play by Sam Cooper. With Matt Cole, Dee Jennings and Nick Ventura.

Room 21F
by Angela Best
4:00 PM

Emily awakens in a cheap motel room. She is bound to the bed with a pair of handcuffs, and her mouth is covered with duct tape. She is terrified, and has no idea how she got there. At the end of the bed is a video camera on a tripod. Sarah enters from the bathroom, holding a knife. A staged reading of a new play by Angela Best. With Staci Murawski, Nick Ventura and Jordan Macey.

She Sleeps No More: An Evening with Lady Macbeth
Scenes from William Shakespeare's "Macbeth"
8:00 PM

"Screw your courage to the sticking place, and we'll not fail." Shakespeare's infamous Lady Macbeth impugns on her husband's manliness when he gets cold feet after they've agreed to kill King Duncan of Scotland. An evening of eight different actresses interpreting Lady Macbeth's grisly scenes and monologues. With Natalie Levy-Degutis, Angela Best, Beth Pivirotto, Cynthia Tademy, Nina Martin, Ravenn McDowell, Sylvie Green Shapero, Missy Hayes Mohr and Brian Cebrian as Macbeth.
