BASH: LATTERDAY PLAYS
Neil LaBute
BASH, a collection of three darkly brilliant one-act plays, forms a trio of unforgettable personal accounts. In MEDEA REDUX, a woman tells of her complex and ultimately tragic relationship with her junior high school English teacher; in IPHIGENIA IN OREM, a Utah businessman confides in a stranger in a Las Vegas hotel room, confessing a most chilling crime; and in A GAGGLE OF SAINTS, a young Mormon couple separately recounts the violent events of an anniversary weekend in New York City. All three are unblinking portraits of the complexities of evil in everyday life, exhibiting LaBute's signature raw lyrical intensity. BASH, starring Calista Flockhart, Paul Rudd and Ron Eldard, directed by Joe Mantello, premiered at the Douglas Fairbanks Theater in New York City in June of 1999.
