Jason O'Connell's THE DORK KNIGHT Coming to Abingdon Theatre Company for One Night Only

By:
Abingdon Theatre Company will present a special one-night only engagement of THE DORK KNIGHT, written and performed by Jason O'Connell, on Monday, May 16 at 7pm in the June Havoc Theatre (312 West 36th Street). Eric Tucker is set to direct.

A look into one man's obsession with movies about another man's obsession with dressing up like a rodent and punching people, THE DORK KNIGHT traces the ups and downs of actor Jason O'Connell's personal and professional life as seen through the prism of his love/hate relationship with the Batman movies.

Featuring numerous "cameos" from the bat-voices in O'Connell's head, THE DORK KNIGHT is a trip down cinematic memory lane that begins with the 1989 Michael Keaton blockbuster, and strolls past George Clooney's bat-nipples, Christian Bale's bat-growl, and a couple of iconic Jokers en route to (sigh) Batfleck. O'Connell's funny, intimate memoir demonstrates how one's "inner geek" can guide and inspire in good times and in bad.
