About This Show
Written by Seraphina Richardson, and performed by Seraphina Richardson & Holly Nanes. Directed by Patrick McMahill. Presented by Conn Artist Performance Event, Inc. as part of the Provincetown Fringe Festival.
The play exposes the lives of two drug addicts struggling for escape and also, their ruthless manipulation of one another. It explores what we are capable of when rejection coupled with jealousy feed our desperation to frightening extremes. Sub-City is a multi-media, indy-film/theatre mind screw. The sexual angst happening on stage is delightfully painful to watch. Everyone is lying and the audience works to keep a step ahead. The graphic language and sex serves the piece well in exposing and communicating the rawness and desperation of urban survival. The original score is haunting. The religious undertones and plot twists are pleasurably disturbing.
Appropriate for audiences 16 and above.
