The final show of Theatre Exile's 15th season, the Philadelphia premiere of the Broadway show, A BEHANDING IN SPOKANE, starts previews Thursday April 19 at Christ Church Neighborhood House
(20 North American Street). In celebration of this event, they are offering $10 tickets for the first preview.
A BEHANDING IN SPOKANE is a play written by Martin McDonagh, author of Exile’s smash hit The Lieutenant of Inishmore. A mysterious stranger is on the hunt for his missing appendage and two bungling crooks along with one devious hotel receptionist are caught up in his dangerous machinations. Carmichael (think Captain Ahab meets Dennis Hopper) brings us into his obsessive search for what has been missing from his life since childhood. Another dazzlingly macabre tale from McDonagh, Behanding slices open the roots of fanaticism and lays open the need to be “whole” again and the contempt we have for outsiders in a post-9/11 America.
