Our friend Brandt Adams, assistant director of Frogs and frequent collaborator with Fault Line Theatre, is currently in a show going on at La Mama’s The Club called The Maiden. It’s a experimental retelling of the Persophone story created by the critically acclaimed troupe The Nerve Tank. Fun fact: They’re late shows (and run only 45 minutes). Plus, the show takes place right next door to where we’re performing Breathing Time. So, if you play your cards right, you could take in two great shows in one evening. Check out more details below!

A LITTLE ABOUT THE PLAY
Persephone takes a dive. Hades drops some knowledge. Join The Nerve Tank and composer Admiral Grey for a contemporary reboot of the abduction myth. The Maiden explores questions of power and showmanship in the context of a trailer park nightclub, blending found text, choreographed movement, and live music to rip into a kidnapped psyche.
