Three Day Hangover's TARTUFFE Begins in November

THREE DAY HANGOVER - the acclaimed interactive theater company called "infectious and impressive" by The New York Times - will present a new adaptation of Molière's classic farce from November 4 to November 21. The company recently moved into their own venue McAlpin Hall at The West Park Church (West 86th and Amsterdam Avenue) with a successful production of DRACULA, after staging several acclaimed shows in bars across the city with productions filled with drinking, drama and fun. TARTUFFE is adapted by Jack Brandman and directed by Beth Gardiner.

THREE DAY HANGOVER, the creators of the long-running Off Broadway hit Drunk Shakespeare, is jumping into politics and the candidate to watch is this November is Tartuffe. They are re-imagining Molière's searing comedy of hypocrites and heathens for our modern age and nothing brings out the best kind of worst in people like a U.S. Senate race. Coming at you from the left and the right, this fast-paced, dysfunctional family farce will be anything but politically correct as we roast and toast American politics as unusual.

"TARTUFFE is going to be Three Day Hangover doing what we do best," says director Beth Gardiner, "irreverent, smart, joyful storytelling presented in an unexpected, unforgettable and fun way. Re-framing this play against a political backdrop makes it outrageous, up-to-the-minute contemporary and hilarious. The colorful characters and over-the-top rhetoric in the current national political spotlight have added fuel to our fire. As always, we've incorporated drinking game shenanigans, which fit perfectly into the dysfunctional family dynamic at the center of the story. I've never had so much fun working on a play before!"

The cast includes Jose Cagigal, Dustin Charles*, Leah Gabriel, Dillon Heape*, Carol Linnea Johnson*, Dan Morrison*, Tom Schwans*, Abbey Siegworth*, and Sean Tarrant* (*Actor is appearing courtesy of Actors' Equity Association in an Equity Approved Showcase.)
