About the Show

An evening of two short plays from experimental legend Mac Wellman. Part of the Flea's "Mac Wellman: Perfect Catastrophes" series.

From the show:

BROOKLYN. THE BUS. THE UNSEEN.

In The Sandalwood Box, college student Marsha Gates lost her voice. On her way to speech therapy, she encounters Professor Claudia Mitchell, who captures the most captivating catastrophes of the world and preserves them in a sandalwood box.

SOMETHING. STRANGE. HAPPENS.

In The Fez, the charmed spell of the theater has somehow absented itself, and something strange happens. A play that was originally printed on a tee shirt is finally produced!

Fun, Odd, Dizzying, Entertaining

See it if Two experimental works ... work! High energy and a bit dizzying. Not sure what to take away but definitely different and lively.

See it if “The Bats” (Flea actors) bring terrific energy & expressiveness to these wild pieces. I enjoyed being lost in them & left on a high.

Don't see it if You want to understand everything going on. You don’t like weird performance art.
