A father locks his daughter away because he can't bear to share her with her mother, or anyone else. A man holds a busload of passengers hostage with no demands, and one woman does the unthinkable to attempt escape. And a scorned husband offers his wife a ghastly maternity gift.

These tales and others make up this year's THE BLOOD BROTHERS PRESENT... series, Nosedive Productions' annual October horror show. Following the tradition of the original Grand Guignol Theatre, Danny Bowes (Q&A: THE PERCEPTION OF DAWN, THIS IS THE NEW AMERICAN THEATRE), James Comtois (INFECTIOUS OPPORTUNITY, THE ADVENTURES OF NERVOUS-BOY) and Mac Rogers (VIRAL, UNIVERSAL ROBOTS), write new stage plays based on true stories "ripped from the headlines."

THE BLOOD BROTHERS PRESENT...THE NEW GUIGNOL features nudity and graphic violence and is recommended for adults only.

Featuring Ryan Andes*, Becky Byers, Rebecca Comtois, Jessi Gotta*, Stephen Heskett, RoBert Leeds*, Marsha Martinez, Ben VandenBoom, Cotton Wright*
