HONOR SHMONOR, A PROFANE AND ABSURD MEDIEVAL COMEDY, PLAYS THE TANK THIS SEPTEMBER
Ember Studios presents Honor Shmonor, a fast, profane, and increasingly absurd new play from writer/director Atticus Orsborn, at The Tank on September 12 and 13, 2026 at 9:30pm.
After being nominated for Best Production, Best Director, Best Actress, and winning Best Actor at Theatro LATEA's New York Summer Theater Festival and closing The Tank's DarkFest, Honor Shmonor, is back!
A celebrated knight and his loyal squire arrive at a witch's cave to carry out a righteous execution. What begins as a simple task unravels into a circular, escalating debate about honor, faith, and obedience, as the two men's certainty collapses under the weight of their own logic and the violence they've been sent to commit. Billed as "a brilliantly silly medieval comedy," Honor Shmonor uses its fairy tale premise and fantasy setting to interrogate something much closer to home: how we talk ourselves into our worst behavior.
