From May 31 – June 16, 2012, The Kitchen presents the National Theater of the United States of America's The Golden Veil. The Golden Veil is written and directed by the NTUSA's Normandy Sherwood and James Stanley, respectively.
Performances will take place Thursday to Saturday, May 31 – June 2; Wednesday to Friday, June 6 – 8; and Thursday to Saturday, June 14 – 16 at The Kitchen (512 West 19th Street). All performances begin at 8:00 P.M. Tickets are $20.Critics are welcome as of Saturday, June 2, with the official opening on Monday, June 4.Conjuring the intimacy of a séance and the wild abandon of a hootenanny, The Golden Veil is equal parts pastoral ballet, backwoods jamboree, Punch-and-Judy show and forlorn testimony, an exposé of the lives of the rural poor and a celebration of their lovely handicrafts. In the inimitable style of the National Theater of the United States of America (NTUSA), The Golden Veil is a violent and lusty revenge fantasy, unfolding via the traditional domestic arts of reading aloud, singing along, making faces, charades and parlor tricks.Videos
