SPUNK Up Next at WaterTower Theatre, 4/11-5/4

Next up at WaterTower Theatre is SPUNK by George C. Wolfe, running April 11 - May 4, 2014. Press Night: Monday, April 14, 7:30 pm.

Adapted for the stage from three short stories by Zora Neale Hurston, SPUNK features music by Chic Street Man. The production will be directed by Akin Babatunde.

SPUNK is a wild, bluesy wail-three stories by the great Harlem Renaissance writer Zora Neale Hurston, adapted into a staggeringly theatrical play by George C. Wolfe, who won an Obie for its 1989 off-Broadway premiere production. A trio of vignettes of African-American life in the first half of the 20th century, Spunk is a raucous, charming, blues-infused look at love, revenge, jealousy, and the fine art of the hustle.
