Busch Fest Program A: Vampire Lesbians of Sodom + Sleeping Beauty or Coma
Mary's Attic (Hamburger Mary's)
Chicago, IL
From The Idea Place comes Busch Fest, a celebration of the outrageous early work by Charles Busch. This bawdy collection of cult classics and rarely performed jewels pays absurd, sharp-edged homage to classic stage and film genres. Pull into Mary's Attic this winter for two sets of Busch double features that will take you from ancient Sodom to swinging mod London.
Program A: Vampire Lesbians of Sodom + Sleeping Beauty of Coma
Vampire Lesbians of Sodom:
One of the longest running plays in Off-Broadway history, Vampire Lesbians of Sodom tells the saga of two fatally seductive vampiresses whose paths first collide in ancient Sodom. Their bitter rivalry as bloodsuckers but more importantly, as actresses, endures for two thousand years with stops along the way in 1920s silent movie Hollywood and 1980s Las Vegas.
Sleeping Beauty of Coma:
The fairy tale of Sleeping Beauty set in the swinging mod London of the1960's. Sebastian Lore, a flamboyant megalomaniac fashion designer, discovers a mod temp receptionist, Enid Wetwhistle, and tries to turn her into a high fashion model. She rebels and finds refuge with a wacky fairy godmother of a struggling fashion designer, and her photographer boyfriend.
Note: These plays are going to rock your face off. They are fast, fun, and funny. We hope you come ready to laugh, and we hope you will come early to have a drink in the Attic or visit Hamburger Mary's just downstairs.

What a great idea you had going to see Busch Fest. Probably one of your better ideas. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Why not have another great idea and come back to see Busch Fest: Program B when Mr. Busch takes us to the Byzantine Empire and the dark days of the Spanish Inquisition.
And we just had a great idea too. Why don't you tell all your friends about the show and let them know what they are missing if they don't come.
You are officially swell.
Bye Swell! |
