The Flea Hosts NIGHT TERROR, Part 3 in Grand Guignol Series, Beginning Tonight

The Flea Theater opens Pod 3 of their terrifying 4 part theatrical event - THE CUTTHROAT SERIES: GRAND GUIGNOL DUELS. These turn of the century French plays alternate between ghastly horrors and carnal comedies to create a gripping, deplorable evening of theater. To add to that thrill, audience members will vote on their favorite play from each of the four pods (titled GORE, CRUELTY, NIGHT TERROR, and LUST) and the winners will return for an extended run in January. The winner from GORE was TICS, OR DOING THE DEED and the winner from CRUELTY was THE SYSTEM.

The third pod, titled NIGHT TERROR, will include three one-acts, directed by Flea Resident Directors and featuring The Bats. All shows will be designed by Andrew Diaz (Set Design), Porsche McGovern (Lighting Design), Eben Hoffer (Sound Design) and Anna Demenkoff (Prop Designer).
