'The Grecian Formula' to be Part of Fringe Festival
By: BWW News Desk
Followspot Entertainment in association with The Post Theatre Company will present the world premiere of the comedy THE GRECIAN FORMULA, written by Carter Anne McGowan and directed by Mary Jo Lodge. The Grecian Formula will be presented at the 2008 NY International Fringe Festival and will perform at The Theatres at 45 Bleecker.
The Greeks are credited with the creation of the first democracy, the first Olympic Games, the first catapult…and the first play, which naturally spawned the first producer, the first snide critic, the first "idea man" (and therefore the first ghostwriter), and the first award for best play. THE GRECIAN FORMULA, playwright Carter Anne McGowan's historically accurate recreation of the backstage comedy behind the first drama – complete with wily slaves, choral odes, heartfelt romances, and even an eleven o'clock number – asks the question: How far would you go to win the phallus?The cast includes: Jolly Abraham (Coram Boy, Bombay Dreams), Rich Affannato (Les Mis, tour: Producers, Les Mis), Anthony Cochrane (Cymbeline, Coast of Utopia), Robert Hooghkirk, Todd Lawson (Bway: Summer and Smoke), Nick Sullivan (Footloose) and Stuart Zagnit (Seussical, The Wild Party). Creative team includes: Janus Stefanowicz (Costume Designer) and Alisa Sickora Kleckner (Mask Designer).
