Doug Knott's Solo Show LAST OF THE KNOTTS Comes to SoHo Playhouse, 11/10-12/8

LAST OF THE KNOTTS - The semi-autobiographical, solo show written and performed by hipster poet Doug Knott and produced by Meadowbrook Entertainment, will be staged at SOHO PLAYHOUSE, 15 Vandam Street for 4 performances, Nov 10, Nov 17, Nov 24 & Dec 8.

Doug endures a childhood of severe abuse by his alcoholic father, a Florida judge obsessed with his own legacy. To spite his father, Doug declares he will be the "Last Of The Knotts." He then embarks on a carefree life to avoid the bourgeois anchor of family. Set in exuberant, darkly permissive 1980's Los Angeles, this hour-long "comi-tragedy" shadows his search for redemptive love with an exotic woman who deals cocaine and keeps a pet 7-foot boa constrictor. When she unexpectedly gets pregnant, her desire to have a child provokes a conflict, and Doug must choose fatherhood.... or Knott.
