Soho Think Tank/Ice Factory Festival Presents Hater 7/21-24

Wever, Weisberg, Winters and Dillenburg to star in HATER- a Contemporary Translation of Moliere's The Misanthrope, set to play at the Ohio Theater runs July 21-24. 

What happens when the Hater hates himself for being in love?

Lust. Betrayal. Air kisses. A mise en scene for the gloriously debauched. An original dubstep score with peculiar dance. An amphetamine fueled, post-post simulacrum of the French classic. A comedy of manners for the very rude.
