July 2010 MAD HONEY - "a lonely howl of a play" (Ted Hoover, Pittsburgh City Paper)

Mad Honey: Hallucinogenic; can be deadly when unspeakable lust leads to heartbreak and the buzz just gets way out of hand. Myth, Murder, Incest, bees and Richard Nixon, Mad Honey promises to make you laugh, cry and want to howl out loud. Love, myth, murder, and the sticky sweet poison elixir of “Mad Honey” combined for a wild, turbulent ride.

Shakespeare's darkest work reinvented as a macabre post-apocalyptic gender-bending play for three actors, offering Shakespeare's gorgeous language with a supernatural sizzle. This inventive, three person production was premiered in L.A. in 2008, and has been performed in L.A., London, and at Scotland's Edinburgh Festival Fringe.
