WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
In a mythical world, during brutal times, a curse has plagued the land ever since the chosen ones infuriated the gods. It is up to Soon-Jal, a non-pureblood, to end the curse and the misery that has wrought her land for years... even if it means killing everyone in her path. The Jaded Assassin is the world's first original action play, with over 60 minutes of fight/action choreography. It's a high-powered adrenaline rush of a play, and it kicks ass - literally.
"The first decapitation gets a laugh. So do the cast's open mouths, frozen while speaking about something upsetting. The shadow puppets are hits. But The Jaded Assassin, an innovative martial-arts fantasy, is all about the battles! Just as I was thinking that an Off Broadway stage was the wrong place for this sort of thing, a slow-flash strobe began, giving the characters the appearance of flight or at least levitation. Take that, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon!"
- Anita Gates, The New York Times

The experience of watching The Jaded Assassin is akin to viewing a particularly lame B-movie. It's easy to spot the flaws and wish for it to be better, but at the same time it remains something of a guilty pleasure. Director Timothy Haskell has previously helmed parodic stage adaptations of the '80s movies Road House and Fatal Attraction, and he brings a similar kitschy sensibility to his work on this original script (conceived by Haskell and penned by Michael Voyer). Unfortunately, the production isn't as sharp as it needs to be, and a lot of it just doesn't work.
The story, such as it is, revolves around Soon Jal (Jo-Anne Lee), the adopted daughter of a clan of warriors, most of whom hav[...]
