Photo Flash: The Faux-Real Theatre Co Presents ALL-MALE OEDIPUS REX
The Faux-Real Theatre Company in conjunction with Verse Theater Manhattan presents ALL-MALE OEDIPUS REX at Theatre 80 (80 St. Marks Place), as part of HOWL! ARTS PROJECT, for two performances only: Saturday, September 11 and Sunday, September 12 at 8:00pm.
History tells us that 2,400 years ago the Greeks performed in brightly colored wigs, fantastical costumes, and masks that acted as megaphones. Mark Greenfield, creator of FUNBOX TIMES SQUARE, directs an all-male cast, utilizing the performance techniques of the Ancient Greeks, to present a "traditional" rendition of Sophocles' classic.
The cast of ALL-MALE OEDIPUS REX includes Jamie Carrillo, Keldrick Crowder, Mark Greenfield, Clinton Lowe, William Alex Runnels, Reynaldo Piniella, Jason Scott Quinn, Donatello DeMeo Meltz, Tony Naumovski, Zorikh Lequidre, Alejandro Santoni, and Michael Zartman. The production features translation by Robert Fagles; costumes by Constance Tarbox; and masks by Lynda White. The company includes Alessandro DeMeo, Assistant Director; Sylva Havrankova, Stage Manager; and Jeff Wood, musician.
Performances of ALL-MALE OEDIPUS REX run at Theater 80 (80 St. Marks Place) on Saturday, September 11 and Sunday, September 12 at 8:00 PM. Running time is approximately 75 minutes. Tickets are $10.
