Wide Eyed Productions Presents 'A Devil Inside' 6/26
Wide Eyed Productions unleashes their explosive sense of humor this summer with Pulitzer-Prize-winning-playwright David Lindsay-Abaire's hilarious tragedy, A DEVIL INSIDE beginning June 26th.
On his 21st birthday Gene is informed that his 400-pound father was brutally murdered while hiking in the Pennsylvania Poconos. Now, left with only the old man's severed feet (carefully preserved in a jar of formaldehyde by his mother), Gene must find the killer and avenge his footless father.
Wide Eyed Productions will transform the Richmond Shepard Theatre into a Lower East Side laundromat where the play is set. Audiences will also be teleported to a university lecture hall and a number 6-train subway car. Fans of classic Russian literature will enjoy nods to Dostoyevsky and Tolstoy and for the stiff of stomach there's bloody violence a-plenty. Director and company member, Justin Ness, leads the Wide Eyed team in this their third full-length production. Wide Eyed has been building steam since last fall's inaugural production of Euripides' The Medea. NYTheatre.com called it "exhilarating and haunting." Wide Eyed then answered this success by mounting a modern take on Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing that The Shakespeare Revue hailed as a "slam dunk production" and Sugarzine deemed "a hilarious night of theatre."
The cast of delightfully disturbing and wacky characters include Wide Eyed Productions' Artistic Director Kristin Skye Hoffmann as Mrs. Slater, Co-Founder Liz White as Caitlin, as well as company members, Sage Seals as Gene, Andrew Harriss as Carl, Lauren Bahlman as Lily and newcomer Jake Paque as Brad.
David Lindsay-Abaire won the 2007 Pulitzer Prize for Drama for Rabbit Hole.
