Transforming the Access Theater Gallery into an immersive space with a distinct nightclub vibe, the two shows will play in rotation for a three-week limited run. The rotating schedule provides ample opportunity for audiences to discover surprising parallels between these very different works.
THE ROARING GIRL, a Jacobean city comedy by Thomas Middleton and Thomas Dekker, is a play so shockingly modern that it remains rarely produced to this day. Its heroine, Moll Cutpurse, is a cross-dressing, ass-kicking, whip-smart joker - a wildly fun and complex female character like none you've seen before. This hilariously messy sex comedy takes a hard look at marriage, gender, and fidelity, and finds a lot to laugh about along the way. It's filthy, it's romantic, it's transgressive, and yes (in case you're wondering), there are some seriously awesome sword fights.
In PUNK AS FUCK, a world-premiere play by Michael K. White and Dianna Stark, youth, passion, and ideals collide on a fateful Friday night in 1991. It's the era of grunge, alt-rock, and 90s punk, and a garage band has gathered for a rehearsal that will end up taking them on an emotional roller coaster ride through their deepest secrets and hidden longings. Set against a background of live music, this is a play for anyone who has ever been young, angry, and in love (and, let's be honest, that means it's for everyone).
