Dead Mother
or Shirley Not All in Vain
by David Greenspan

January 10- February 17, 2008

Directed by Tony Kelly. A Co-Production with Thick Description

Featuring Deb Fink, Corey Fischer, Gabriel Marin, Dena Martinez, Louis Parnell and Liam Vincent

In this post-modern farce, Harold got away with impersonating his dead mother once and now he has to do it again, and again, and again. But in the hands of celebrated New York playwright David Greenspan, this comic situation runs through bad marriage, bad acting, Greek myth, and the circles of Hell, bending genders and theatrical reality along the way in a savagely funny, sharp and haunting 90 minute romp through the confusing layers of identity and family. Thick Description introduced this writer to the Bay Area in 1992 with acclaimed productions of his earlier work. This time, they've invited us to collaborate on this extravagantly gifted writer's greatest work.

$18-$34
Opening Night: $40 (reception following performance)
