WHALES & SOULS is coming to the NYC International Fringe Festival August 2016

Described as "wild, weird, and wonderful" after its' initial NYC production at The Flea Theatre, Whales and Souls is an original work with an underlying cultural relevance sure to tantalize and intrigue NYC Fringe Festival audiences this summer. Directed by Matt Renskers, the August 2016 production will be produced like never before: A male (Chris Roe) will be playing all 7 characters featured in the script; a different approach to the developmental Australian production of the show, which featured a woman juggling this challenging task. Roe, who directed the recent Flea Theatre production of Whales and Souls, steps in to this one-man-show assisted for the first time by elaborate shadows effects, courtesy of resident artist Emily Palmer's paper engineering in conjunction with a large production team sporting impressive collaborative design efforts: Marciel Irene Green (Lighting), Jonathan Parke (Sound), and Christopher & Justin Swader (Scenery).

This 2016 take on Kramer's material is sure to be unique to all other projects in the Fringe Festival this summer, if not simply by the qualified team contributing to it, then by the fascinatingly powerful message that is embedded in this dark, mystical piece of theatre. Whales and Souls tells the tale of a small conservative village enticed by offers from an outsider and soon, everything begins to change.
