WHAT:

Written, directed and designed by Richard Foreman--"the Godfather of the American avant-garde," swears The New York Times--Old-Fashioned Prostitutes (A True Romance) is an expressionistic chamber play that twists emotional heartache into a landscape of continual mental invention. Presented in association with Foreman's own Ontological-Hysteric Theater, follow his snapshots of an enigmatic fairy-tale in which the elusive coquette Suzie (Alenka Kraigher) brings Samuel (Rocco Sisto) to his knees--from where he worships a life he only half understands. Also starring: Stephanie Hayes as "Gabriella," Nicolas Norena as "Michelin Man" and David Skeist as "Alfredo." Costume design is by Gabriel Berry, with lighting by Yael Lubetzky.
