Brian Copeland to Star in THE SCION World Premiere at The Marsh, 9/6-10/26

The Marsh presents a tale of murder, privilege, and sausage with the World Premiere of THE SCION, performed by award-winning performer Brian Copeland (Not a Genuine Black Man, The Waiting Period), written by Brian Copeland in collaboration with David Ford, and directed by David Ford.

In his third solo show, Copeland employs his razor sharp wit to explore the roles of privilege and government regulation in modern society. Using the events surrounding the infamous June 2000 murders of three meat inspectors at the Santos Linguisa factory in San Leandro as a case study, Copeland examines the uneasy relationship between the law, and those who grow up believing they are above it. Delivered with Copeland's signature style, THE SCION skillfully tiptoes the line between comedy and tragedy, adding a dash of humor to this riveting ripped-from-the-headlines subject matter.

Copeland was most recently seen in his critically acclaimed one-man-showThe Waiting Period, and broke the record for the longest-running solo show in San Francisco history with Not a Genuine Black Man.

The show will run September 6 - October 26, 2013, with press night on Saturday, September 21. Shows run Friday at 8:00pm and Saturday at 5:30pm at The Marsh San Francisco, 1062 Valencia St, San Francisco. Tickets: Previews: $15-$35 sliding scale; Run: $20-$35 sliding scale; $50 Reserved Seating. For information or to order tickets call (415) 282-3055 or visit www.themarsh.org.
