POST-OEDIPUS by Steven Gridley

 

The BLUE Theatre and Getalong Gang Performance Group present the Austin premiere of Post-Oedipus, a radical re-working of Euripides' play The Phoenician Women. Post-Oedipus chronicles the tumultuous events of Oedipus' family after his fall, using warped time, musical interjections, chaotic revelries, and intolerable silences to unravel the mental state of a family after disaster. At once a stunning family drama and a jaunt into the absurd, Post-Oedipus will delight and challenge audiences.

 

Coming off their most recent project, the Austin Critics’ Table-nominated Arthuriosis: A Metal Opera, the Getalong Gang’s Spencer Driggers and Zenobia Taylor join forces to direct and choreograph this memorable production.  Designed by Stephen Pruitt and featuring Jenny Gravenstein(Critics' Table winner and B. Iden Payne nominee), Nicole Portwood, Seth Thomas, Steve Cruz, Michelle Turner, Helyn Rain Messenger, and James Brownlee. 

 

Post-Oedipus runs from March 25 - April 11, Thurs. - Sat. at 8pm, Sun. at 2pm

About the Getalong Gang Performance Group:

Named  one of “10 companies that are charging up Austin theatre" by the Austin Chronicle, the Getalong Gang Performance Group strives to challenge the hearts and minds of its audience and show them a great night out, as well.  Husband and wife team Spencer Driggers and Zenobia Taylor have been melding their respective disciplines (theatre, dance) since 2006 to form an unique, genre-defying brand of performance that's more fun than a barrel of non-rabid monkeys!   Critically acclaimed and award-winning productions like Arthuriosis, Dolly Would and Ben Franklin: A Rock Opera have helped to cement the Getalong Gang’s reputation for bringing the unexpected to Austin stages.
