About This Show

In a tribute to legendary Los Angeles playwright Murray Mednick, Padua Playwrights presents three full-length world premieres of his work in repertory. The common thread between Clown Show for Bruno, The Destruction of the Fourth World, and a new film adaptation by Padua Lab of Mednick’s play Girl on a Bed, is Mednick’s signature lyricism which he combines with vaudevillian wordplay to examine the relationship between the creative and destructive aspects of human existence.

The three productions will run in repertory:

Saturdays at 5 pm: March 21 (preview), 28; April 4, 11, 18
