Soho Think Tank/Ice Factory Festival Closes HATER 7/24

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