Heather Bagnall, (SINGLEMARRIEDGIRL, 59E59, Edinburgh Fringe) has been cast in the role of Emma Goldman in Tasty Monster Productions' reading of LOVE, SEX, ANARCHY, a new play by Melissa Bell, based on the life and loves of the infamous Anarchist. Luke Tudball (FERDINAND, A MAN OF NO IMPORTANCE/Talking Horse Productions, regional) will direct.
LOVE, SEX, ANARCHY is based on the life of Emma Goldman, the infamous Anarchist, and spans several decades of her life and loves: Escaping a brutal childhood and the monotony of factory work in Russia, Emma Goldman arrives in New York City, ripe for the Anarchist philosophy. A fiery speaker, proponent of woman's reproductive rights and practitioner of Free Love, she becomes caught up in a passionate affair with Ben Reitman, a womanizer and self-diagnosed sex addict. Can Emma reconcile her idealistic beliefs with her all too human emotions?

The cast includes Clinton Brandhagen as Fedya (Moscka) Aronovski, Jennifer Haining as ensemble/stage directions; Pamela Karp as Helene Mitkin/ensemble; Alexander Reed as Johann Most/Ben Reitman; and Kire Tosevski as Sasha Berkman.
