Seanie Sugrue's LOVE IS DEAD! will open at 13th Street for a run starting in June with performances on June 1 & 2; 6 - 9; 13 & 14 at 8pm, with a Special Matinee on June 5 at 3pm. BroadwayWorld has a sneak peek at the cast below!
LOVE IS DEAD! is a paralytic presentation of murder, deceit and sexism. This series of stories attempt to prove whether its title holds true, that LOVE IS DEAD!
Act 1: The Apple and the Tree! drags through the meager life of Trevor. A young man burdened with the seemingly impossible task of convincing his relations that he has been raped, by two women.
Act 2: Two Minute Kenneth! follows a seemingly incompatible couple through the rapid escalation of the imminent melancholy that is, a modern day relationship.
Act 3: My Goldfish Loves Me but I Hate Your Guts! ambles recklessly through a sinuous account of the life and misery of Maggie, an unhinged prostitute looking for retribution.
Sugrue's own experiences as a "stranger in a strange land" is the foundation for much of his work. He iscreating a series of 12 plays in a style he calls PUNK! Theater. One Way To Pluto! and two previous success, Fade to Black! and Black Me Out!, are part of that saga. Each understandable as a standalone piece, but together they will weave a saga that will depict the dysfunctional world in which we live.
Warning: LOVE IS DEAD! deals in mature subject matter and contains sexual situations, strong language, and graphic violence.
