Busch Fest Program B: Theodora She-Bitch of Byzantim + Pardon My Inqisition or Kiss the Blood off My Castanets
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 B includes:
Theodora She-Bitch of Byzantium -
Empress Theodora, a former circus performer, is trapped in a loveless marriage to the perverse Emperor Justinian. Masquerading as a boy, she seeks a love potion from a gypsy camp where she meets Andreas, a handsome revolutionary who is plotting to kill her husband. Tragedy ensues.
Pardon My Inquisition of Kiss the Blood off My Castanets -
An outrageous comic melodrama set in Spain during the terrifying days of the Inquisition. Maria Garbonza, a wild spitfire of a prostitute, is madly in love with the soldier of fortune, Don Arturo. Unfortunately, he is engaged in an illicit affair with a married noblewoman that looks remarkably familiar, the Marquesa Del Drago. Maria exacts a wicked act of revenge before she has a religious epiphany. In a plot twisted out of A Tale of Two Cities, Maria has a life changing decision to make.
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. All seats are General Admission.

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 A when Mr. Busch takes us to Ancient Sodom and swinging Mod London.
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! |
