STAGE TUBE: Teaser of Controversial Playwright Thomas Bradshaw's FULFILLMENT at The Flea

The Flea Theater has released a video teaser for their upcoming production of controversial playwright Thomas Bradshaw's FULFILLMENT.

Most recently represented on New York stages by INTIMACY and BURNING, Bradshaw's plays have stirred discussion among theatregoers for their frequent and graphic instances of actors performing simulated sex acts, with plots involving rape, incest and sexual slavery, along with racially-based humor.

While the video contains no graphic images, the audio may hint at FULFILLMENT's tone.

Michael has a new girlfriend and has just bought the apartment of his dreams. It seems that his life should be perfect. Little does he know that his hell is just beginning. In FULFILLMENT Bradshaw tackles the question: what makes us happy?

FULFILLMENT will be directed by Ethan McSweeny and features Otoja Abit, Gbenga Akinnagbe, Jeff Biehl, Christian Conn, Denny Dillon, Susannah Flood, and Peter McCabe. FULFILLMENT is a co-world premiere with American Theater Company in Chicago, where it opens under McSweeny's direction in November.
