BASH: Latter-Day Plays by Neil Labute--Philly Fringe

Directed by and starring 17-year-old Chestnut Hill native Pascale Smith, BASH is a collection of three darkly brilliant one-act plays, a trio of confessions that echoes works by the classical Greek playwright Euripides. In Iphigenia In Orem, a Utah businessman in a Las Vegas Hotel room confesses a horrifying crime; in Medea Redux, a young woman recounts the tragic consequences of her relationship with her middle school English teacher; in A Gaggle of Saints, a young Mormon couple recreate the shocking and violent consequences of a getaway weekend in New York.

Join us for an intimate evening of theater as three daring and talented young actors take the audience on a trip through this trio of personal accounts that challenge the viewer to examine and re-examine the complexities of evil in everyday life.

BASH: Latter-Day Plays. Three performances: Wednesday, September 14. Friday, September 15. Saturday, September 16. 8 PM. Moonstone Arts Center. 110 S. 13th Street, Philadelphia. Tickets: $15; Students $10.
