Andsoshedid Productions is proud to debut the melodramatic, campy, and comically dark new play BITCH! A PLAY BASED ON THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF LADY LAWFORD by Charlotte Booker, at the New York International Fringe Festival (FringeNYC), on August 17 at 10 PM. The production features five performances between August 17 and August 28.

BITCH! follows the truly outrageous life of the charming, eccentric, and utterly opinionated Lady May Lawford - mother of 60's Rat Packer Peter Lawford. The play is adapted from the book of the same title, an autobiography penned by Lady Lawford as told to Buddy Galon. Buddy, some 50 years Lady Lawford's junior, acts as her enigmatic "society companion" throughout the story, accompanying the thrice-married aristocrat on a bizarre journey to expose the truth behind the death of Marilyn Monroe. Yet, neither of them realize they are unwittingly about to become part of a real-life mystery themselves.

BITCH! is under the direction of Melinda Buckley and is being produced by Melissa Doyle.

The production features playwright Booker in the role of Lady Lawford and Joe Kinosian in the role of Buddy.

BITCH! will run for five performances and showcased at The Connelly Theatre, 220 E. 4th St., in New York City. Dates and curtain times are as follows: August 17, 10:00 PM; August 20, 4:45 PM; August 22, 7:00 PM; August 23, 2:30PM; and August 28, 7:00 PM. Tickets for all shows are $15.

Tickets can be purchased at WWW.FRINGENYC.ORG, or by calling 1-866-468-7619: CHARGE ONLY. In-person tickets may only be purchased beginning July 31 at FringeCENTRAL, 54 Crosby St. (Between Spring and Broome), New York, NY.
