Cutting Balll Theatre Presents BONE TO PICK, Closes 2/13
Back by popular demand, Cutting Ball Theater presents playwright Eugenie Chan's BONE TO PICK. Re-imagining the myth of Ariadne, Theseus, and the Minotaur in a postmodern exploration of love, war, and complicity, this incendiary play, nominated for the 2008 Glickman Award for Best New Play, received its World Premiere in Cutting Ball's Avant GardARAMA!, becoming a stand-out of the 2007-08 season. The San Francisco Chronicle called the production "richly rewarding right down to its marrow," noting Paige Rogers' performance as "riveting;" Rogers will reprise her tour de force role for this re-staging.
Accompanying BONE TO PICK is a newly commissioned companion piece, also by Chan, entitled DIADEM, a classical retelling of the earlier parts of Ariadne's myth, when she was first in love. Together, these two original works tell the complete story of Ariadne's epic romance.
Co-founded in 1999 by theater artists Rob Melrose and Paige Rogers, Cutting Ball Theater presents avant-garde works of the past, present, and future by re-envisioning classics, exploring seminal avant-garde texts, and developing new experimental plays. Cutting Ball Theater has partnered with Playwrights Foundation, the Magic Theatre, and Z Space New Plays Initiative to commission new experimental works. The company has produced a number of World Premieres, West Coast Premieres, and re-imagined various classics. Voted "Best Theater Company" in the 2010 San Francisco Bay Guardian Best of The Bay issue, Cutting Ball Theater also earned the Best of SF award in 2006 from SF Weekly, was selected by San Francisco Magazine as Best Classic Theater in 2007, and received the 2008 San Francisco Bay Guardian Goldie award for outstanding talent in the performing arts. Cutting Ball Theater was recently featured in the February 2010 issue of American Theatre Magazine.
