FREE PANEL DISCUSSION in conjunction with Woolly Mammoth's production of Pig Iron Theatre Company's HELL MEETS HENRY HALFWAY (starting Feb. 2) DISSIDENTS AND SUBVERSIVES: From Gombrowicz to Hell Meets Henry Halfway on Saturday, January 31 at 2pm by Woolly Mammoth Theatre Company Panel followed by a sneak peek at a Pig Iron tech rehearsal in the theatre. Communist Poland banned the work of literary bad-boy Witold Gombrowicz, a radically individualistic and openly bisexual champion of free speech. While in exile, he assumed a pseudonym and released a gothic serial called Possessed about a haunted castle, a mad prince, and a randy tennis coach. Who else could translate this subversive bit of absurdism to the stage but Philadelphia's award-winning Pig Iron Theatre Company, an American dance-clown-theatre ensemble with its own streak of anarchy.
