By: A.A. Cristi
Touted Folly will present KNOCK KNOCK by playwright Floyd Toulet. Taking place Wednesday, June 5th, at 7:30 pm, at The Siggy, as this performance takes center stage as part of the prestigious Rogue Theatre Festival. Tickets will be available starting May 13th.
KNOCK KNOCK invites audiences to delve into the complexities of Disassociative Identity Disorder (DID) through a riveting narrative that challenges perceptions and confronts truths. As a slaughterhouse is engulfed in flames and a body is discovered, the interrogation of a man believed to be responsible sets off a chilling game of cat and mouse. Haunting flashbacks and recalled memories unravel the unsettling truth, daring viewers not to look away from the enigmatic journey of protagonist Billy Carr.
KNOCK KNOCK transcends traditional boundaries, seamlessly blending live performance, film, and music to create an immersive theatrical experience that resonates long after the curtains close.
Joe Staton originally directed the piece in London at the Etcetera Theatre in 2021, and later took on the lead role in 2023 at the Teatro Latea in New York, under the direction of the talented British Actor and Director Chloe Champken. The dynamic duo of Champken and Staton reunites once again for this highly anticipated performance, promising an unforgettable theatrical experience. While Staton's co-star is yet to be revealed, anticipation mounts for the complete cast announcement.
