The West Coast Premiere of Julie Jarcho’s GRIMLY HANDSOME

January 20 – February 26, 2107

A pair of Christmas tree salesmen secretly wreak havoc in NYC. A pair of detectives are bent on catching a serial killer. A young woman finds herself drawn into a cat-and-mouse game and transformed in ways she could never have imagined. Well, maybe she could’ve. Meanwhile, wild animals have been sighted in the vacant lot across the street. Are they dogs? Raccoons? Or something more ferocious?

In Julia Jarcho’s Obie Award-winning poetic, often very funny drama, reality is fluid and facts are elusive. Perpetrators become victims, police detectives become suspects, and nature becomes an id-like witness to the treacherous life of the city.

Directed by Frédérique Michel
Produced by Charles A. Duncombe
Cast: Andrew Loviska, Lindsay Plake, Anthony M. Sannazzaro

“Dark, often sinister….danger lurks in all corners…Follow me, the playwright insists; neither of us knows exactly where we’re going.” — New York Times Critic’s Pick

“A superbly wicked caprice….Go blithely into her Grimm landscape, which rustles with talking animals, smiling predators and language gone elliptical and awry.” — Time Out (5 out of 5 Stars)
