New Feet Productions and Adam Blanshay, in association with The Present Company, present the World Premiere of the dark political comedy ALL DAY SUCKERS by playwright/author Susan Dworkin (THE NAZI OFFICER'S WIFE, THE VIKING IN THE WHEAT FIELD), directed by Jessica Bauman (MILK, INTO THE HAZARD (HENRY 5)) - as part of the 14th Annual New York International Fringe Festival with five performances only, between August 13-29 at the Robert Moss Theatre at 440 Studios (440 Lafayette Street, 3rd Floor) in Manhattan.
Susan Dworkin's timely; pitch black comedy ALL DAY SUCKERS tells the story of Bryce, a yuppie princess who seems to have it all. Great job? Check. Successful lover? Check. Brilliant future? Check. Then her father suffers a stroke, and *poof,* her bright future begins to dim as she is tossed into the maddeningly surrealistic world of the health care economy, where doctors rush by like shooting stars and "Insurance Sprites" lurk under every bed, oozing charm, spinning songs and playfully spreading paranoia. Will Bryce beat the system or will the system beat her?
ALL DAY SUCKERS will feature an original score by Susan Dworkin (music & lyrics), performed on ukulele by Adam Wilson.
Directed by Jessica Bauman, ALL DAY SUCKERS features a cast of Sarah Grace Wilson (THE STORY), Sarah Nina Hayon (Drama Desk Award nominee for REARVIEWMIRROR), Melissa Wolff (EMBERS), Margaret Daly (Mint Theatre's IS LIFE WORTH LIVING & A DELICATE BALANCE at The Guthrie), Zachary Fine, and Paul Carlin (AFTER THE BALL).
Design team for ALL DAY SUCKERS is: Scenic Design - Marjorie Bradley Kellogg (THE BEST LITTLE WHOREHOUSE IN TEXAS, MOOSE MURDERS); Lighting Design - Sarah Lurie; and Costume Design - Amanda Jenks.
