WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Philip Ridley's dark comedy The Pitchfork Disney, a London Fringe cult phenomenon in the early 90s, is the inaugural New York production from the British theatre company Stiff Upper Lip. In Ridley's hauntingly phantasmagoric story, self-styled nightclub entertainer Cosmo Disney preys on two chocolate-addicted twins (a brother and a sister in their 20s) after being invited to their dreary East London flat.
There is no late seating for this show.

There are some genuine delights to be had in The Pitchfork Disney, a super-dark comedy by Philip Ridley that ran for an extended period on London's fringe theater circuit (equivalent to New York's Off-Off-Broadway) in the early nineties. Sharply directed for the most part by Kevin Kittle, the play is now being presented in New York by Stiff Upper Lip productions, a group of Brits dedicated to bringing across the pond shows that didn't play on London's West End stages.
