Shelby Company presents the New York premiere of award-winning playwright Jonathan A. Goldberg's critically acclaimed play SOUSEPAW: A BASEBALL STORY directed by Courtney Ulrich, with preview performances beginning October 9th prior to an official press opening on October 11th at 17 Frost Space (17 Frost Street, Williamsburg) Brooklyn. Check out a first look below!
Winner of "Best of Fringe" at the 2011 San Francisco Fringe Festival, SOUSEPAW: A BASEBALL STORY is according to the San Francisco Chronicle, "a sharply staged tense two-hander [that] looks at record-setting strikeout king Rube Waddell in a last comeback attempt near the end of his short life in 1913." In a rundown hotel in Texas, self proclaimed "greatest lefty pitcher" Rube Waddell is planning his big comeback. He's known for his wild pranks and a childlike love of fire trucks and zoo animals; however, he's also famous as a fall down drunk. Ready to put it all behind him for this one last chance, he hires the Reptile Girl from the circus to keep him company -- and sober. But she has her own twisted past, telling fortunes and running away with an encyclopedia salesman who could name all the stars. During their long night together these two lost souls spill their secrets and try to hide from a truth that can't help but be revealed. Loosely based on a true story.Photos by: Hunter Canning
