Event
Busch Fest Program B: Theodora She-Bitch of Byzantim + Pardon My Inqisition or Kiss the Blood off My Castanets
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.
