Dandy Darkly's All Aboard! debuts at Under St. Marks Theater fresh from award-winning, sold out performances in Edinburgh, London and San Francisco.
Where were you the night the Gaybird Steamer ran off her rails? Dandy Darkly's latest is a glorious Georgia ghost story as told by the peculiar characters there that tragic night - from the little boy chased by the ghosts that still haunt her as an adult to the cruel Colonel buried in his bunker, tinkering with his sinister toys.
Dandy Darkly's All Aboard! is a raucous uprooting of Deep South shame served alongside sizzling social satire and howling humor. Enjoy a dripping earful of Southern Gothic grotesquery: creepy corporate robots, African spider gods, beauty shop gossip and inbred family freakery. Also, trains, trains, and more trains! All aboard, for Dandy's best show yet.
