Thunder Above, Deeps Below

"...[We] believe that these characters pound the pavement each morning, fueled by goals which are in turn fueled by grander dreams and fantasies of being loved, being reborn, or being home... If [Will] Dao's Gil is the heart of the show, then [Aureen] Almario's Theresa is the soul of it." --Sylvie Kim, Hyphen Magazine

Bindlestiff Studio presents
the West Coast premiere of

A. Rey Pamatmat's
Thunder Above, Deeps Below

Directed by Alan S. Quismorio
With Aureen Almario, William Dao, Laura Domingo, Roy Landaverde, James Arthur M., and LaMont Ridgell

A. Rey Pamatmat's "Thunder Above, Deeps Below" is a four-act dramatic comedy that follows three homeless young adults-a Filipina-American with a hidden past, a Filipina transsexual, and a Puerto Rican hustler-trying to find money to escape the upcoming Chicago winter. All have been abandoned, one way or another, and the play graphically depicts their efforts to find a better way of life. Loosely based on Shakespeare's "Pericles", "Thunder Above, Deeps Below" speaks on issues of displacement related to culture and gender and sexuality, with classic themes of human survival and redemption. For mature audiences only. NOT FOR CHILDREN. (Produced by special arrangement with Samuel French, Inc. New York City.)
