Marty Breen presents a thought-provoking exploration of humor and societal complicity in BITCH. This show features Breen performing two contrasting characters, a Stand Up Guy and a Bitch, engaged in an open-mic battle of comedy and original songs. As the performance unfolds, the audience witnesses the unraveling of the Bitch, revealing her inner turmoil and challenging perceptions of victimhood and culpability. Directed by Jeda de Brí, this raw piece confronts the uncomfortable truths of identity and accountability.
