PETER DOYLE'S INCREDIBLE HEAD to be Presented at Chain Theatre's Summer One-Act Play Festival

Durnmoose Entertainment will present the world premiere of Peter Doyle's Incredible Head, a new play by David Andrew Laws (Dungeons & Dragons The Twenty-Sided Tavern, Attack! of the Killer Man from the Sun!). The production will be presented as part of the Chain Theatre's Summer One-Act Play Festival at The Chain Theatre (312 W 36th St. 4th floor, New York, NY 10018) with performances on Friday July 11th at 8pm, Saturday July 19th at 5pm, and Sunday July 27th at 8pm with a talkback to follow.

Tickets ($23) are available for advance purchase online, and should be purchased using the code HEAD25. Peter Doyle's Incredible Head will be presented in a ninety-minute performance block alongside Howard Lempkin, Jr.'s Breaking the Chain and Hang It Up by Taina Carrion-Perez. This production will be the directorial debut of Xandra Abney (the Kobold Show!, When We Last Left Our Heroes) and will star Stephen Solomon, Nick Freedson, and Gene Soo.

The play is a three-hander comedy where realism and absurdity collide. Phillip thinks he's going to an anonymous hook-up but ends up being introduced to an incredible, magical, disembodied head. Themes of this piece include bodily autonomy, self-fulfillment, and the consequences of misleading bathroom graffiti.
