About the Show

The Tank presents this world premiere where, in a corridor haunted by wronged maidservants, a stable boy (Ruffles) considers the ways he is becoming bad because of the things his new job asks him to do.

As a progression of rakes, profligates, and libertines drink more liqueurs and vomit in the decorative urns, one rake reflects on his dawning consciousness that his actions harm others. "Ruffles, or, a Progression of Rakes" is a meditation on power, consent and how to be a person, that is, a good person.

Unfinished, Uneven, Occasionally sharp, Inventive

See it if you are interested in theatrical experiment & can tolerate loose ends & a few uninspired patches.

Don't see it if you want a traditional drama or a fully finished piece. Read more

Confusing, Disappointing

See it if You have a friend in the cast.

Don't see it if You want a clear story beyond the first 20 minutes. You want a show with a purpose. You want good direction/scene transitions.
