Soho Think Tank will present Kirk Wood Bromley's latest play, Me, directed by Alec Duffy. Performances will be at the Ohio Theater, located at 66 Wooster Street, between Spring and Broome Streets in Soho. Performances will begin on Saturday, May 3rd, continuing through Saturday, May 24th.
"The myth of the origin of the white dolphin (a girl thrown into the Yangtze river because she refused to marry), discourses on definitions of self, and personal parental histories of the author all find their place in this swirling, humorous and challenging work. The play culminates with a live fish being brought on stage and the audience being asked to decide one question: should the fish be pulled from its tank and sacrificed for the play?," press notes state.Bromley's part verse, part prose, all poetic script is matched by John Gideon's eclectic music, Karen Flood's imaginative and wild costumes, Jane Stein's stunning puppets and properties, and Jeff Stein's unconventional but magical lighting. A cast of 13 performs this play with 15 songs performed live by the cast and composer.Author Kirk Wood Bromley is the Artistic Director and Playwright for Inverse Theater Company.
