Bash: Latter Day Plays by Neil LaBute
Directed by Stephen East
Performances: Tuesday 20th to Saturday 24th July 2010, Prompt Corner
Bash is a triptych of darkly brilliant one-act plays, presenting apparently moral characters telling us their less-than-moral tales. They combine the American dream with Greek tragedy and the rigidity of religion. All three are unblinking portraits of the evils that astound in everyday life; each is distinguished by writing that is raw yet lyrical. They present a great opportunity for SLT actors of both sexes.
The Play(s) & Cast:
Iphigenia in Orem: A Utah businessman confides in a stranger in a Las Vegas hotel room, and confesses to a chilling crime.
Cast: Ben Hayward
A Gaggle of Saints: A young Mormon couple recount the violent events of an anniversary weekend in New York.
Cast: Sam Trueman, Kelly Gauthier
Medea Redux: A woman tells of her complex and ultimately tragic relationship with her junior high-school English teacher.
Cast: Roberta Zuric
The "latter-day" of the title refers to the Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter-day Saints, or Mormons, of which Neil LaBute was a member for many years.
