What happens when you mix Shakespeare, sex, a go-go bar, & your soul?
Mixed & poured by the ensemble, [ad hoc] shakes & serves up your ultimate
identity crisis: you have a body that is not always your own; you have a
soul that isn't always known. Add in an interpretation of *Othello* you've
never seen before & find your one true love: you. Come for the body, stay
for the booze, discover the soul.
*Othello, Desdemona, & Iago Walk Into A Bar* will be immersed in the back
room of the Trestle Inn, a go-go bar on 11th & Callowhill in Center City,
Philadelphia, during the 2012 Philadelphia Fringe Festival. Order happy
hour food & drinks (Mon-Fri), watch & interact as we tell stories, take
photos, dance, drink, flirt, fight, & find ourselves.
Featuring the visceral photography of Kate Raines (of Plate 3 Photography),
the costume design of Meredith Boring, the choreography of Annie Wilson, &
an ensemble of writer/performers featuring two time Philadelphia Live Arts
Festival veteran Emily Letts (*Fatebook*, *Whale Optics*), Akeem Davis
(Flashpoint, InterAct, Philly Young Playwrights, National Constitution
Center), & Meredith Sonnen, Theatre Horizon's resident production manager &
[ad hoc]'s Woman in our premiere production, *Purgatorio. *Directed &
co-written by 2011 Fringe Festival creator/performer of *Checkers, *Mark
Kennedy.
