Photo Flash: Redd Tale Theatre Company's MADDY: A Modern Day Medea
Redd Tale Theatre Company's MADDY is set in the heartland of America at The Corinthian, a trailer park. Against the backdrop of the original Greek tragedy, this production adds a Fringe/X-Files/Supernatural element into the mix. Maddy finds herself seven years into a relationship: Two children, jobless, broke, living in a trailer park, her lover about to marry the landlord's daughter, and an impending eviction. Faced with mounting adversity, Maddy must decide whether her humanity is worth fighting for or returning to her former existence.
Runs thru 8/29 At Nicu's Spoon Theatre
Maddy: Starring Lynn Kenny, Blaine Pennington, Heather Shields, James Stewart, and Ben Strothmann. Directed by Will Le Vasseur.
Tickets are $12-$15, available at 212-868-4444 or www.smarttix.com.
Immediately after, THE SWAN SONG brings back ghosts of our theatrical past. An old actor awakes from a drunken stupor to find an empty stage, a candle, and former glories of his career.
Swan Song: Starring Will Le Vasseur and Ben Strothmann. Directed by Lynn Kenny.
