Back by popular demand is City Garage's acclaimed 2007 production of Eugene Ionesco's The Bald Soprano as a Christmas anti-play! In a new translation/adaptation by Artistic Director Frederique Michel and Producing Director Charles Duncombe, this mad, absurdist classic is the perfect escape from the banalities of ordinary holiday fare. The piece will run in repertory with City Garage's current world premiere of Charles L. Mee's Orestes 3.0: Inferno at the company's new home at Bergamot Station Arts Center. Dazzling in its linguistic acrobatics, the play is a comic masterpiece of joyful, irrational anti-logic and a looney parody of the stolid, thick-witted world of middleclass propriety. In an escalating battle of banalities, polite conversation turns to confusion, then mayhem, and finally explodes into cheerful, liberating chaos. Simultaneously comic and profound, it is a short, sharp ludicrous journey into a funhouse mirror version of the world we think we know - and the truth of what we do not.
