A 24-Hour The Bald Soprano February 24, 2012

Six actors. Twenty-four performances. No breaks. No kidding! Brat Productions brings back the show that garnered the 2010 cast a Barrymore nomination for Best Ensemble, and Distefano a Barrymore nomination for Best Director.

You may have heard of The Bald Soprano, Eugene Ionesco’s one-hour masterpiece of metaphysical nonsense that has been in permanent showing in Paris since 1957. Written as a continuous loop, the play contains directions in the final scene to start the performance over from the very beginning, with actors shifting roles for the next round.

Brat Productions’ A 24-Hour The Bald Soprano is returning with a vengeance. Eugene Ionesco’s hour-long absurd comedy is repeated every hour on the hour. Grab some coffee. Grab an energy drink. Grab a pillow. Because once the curtain rises, it won’t fall again the next night. Brat’s unique take on Ionesco’s classic tests the mental and physical fortitude of every performer in this spectacle of metaphysical nonsense, suburban banality, and sleep deprivation.
