THE EVE OF HIS EXECUTION
(click for more information, times and dates...)
Written and performed by Henry Andrew Caporoso, based on and interpolating
the writings of Thomas Paine (author of Common Sense). The American Revolution
was successful, and the seeds of dissent are sown all over Europe. Thomas
Paine journeys to France to lend a hand with the revolution there, and
winds up imprisoned under sentence of death for defending the deposed
king. Why? Find out in this recreation of the night before Paine was to
be executed. Based on actual events and actual writings, this one-man
show introduces the revolutionary you never knew. "My favorite show
at the Fringe." - J.J., owner of the Voodoo Lounge

THE ACHARNIANS by Aristophanes, adapted by Karin Shook with Kerstin Broockmann. Subtitled "One Man's Private Peace During the Compassionately Conservative Bombing Campaign on Canada, the Adventures that Befell Him Thereafter, and What Jesus and the Tooth Fairy Had to Say About It All," this sharp, political, and still-relevant-2500-years-later anti-war comedy shows how little we learn from history. Three actors with masks, puppets and phalluses use commedia dell'arte techiniques to put the appropriate outrageous spin on the presidency, the military, the oil industry, bio-engineering, organized religion, and any other easy targets that we could fit into an hour.
