Synopsis: Four thespians, longtime friends, test the bounds of artistic expression under the watchful eye of an autocratic regime. When they stage a controversial play, the consequences exceed their worst nightmare. This is a darkly comedic sociopolitical fable about the fragility of creative freedom and what one seemingly powerless band of misfits willingly risks in its service.
The Bridge Cabaret – PLUS is thrilled to present this reading of a brand new, never-produced play by Tucson-based playwright Germain Shames. The reading will be followed by a talkback with the playwright.
