Nosedive Brings DC-based Molotov Theatre's FAT MEN IN SKIRTS to NYC

Nosedive Productions, New York City's "Theatre for Sick Little Monkeys," will host DC-based Molotov Theatre Group, America's second-oldest Grand Guignol theatre of horror, for a three-show run of Molotov's critically acclaimed Fat Men in Skirts, January 5, 6 and 7, 2012.

Molotov's Fat Men in Skirts will be performed at 8 PM each day, at the UNDER St. Marks Theatre, 94 Saint Marks Place, in New York's East Village. Tickets are $15, and can be purchased in advance online at http://molotovtheatre.ticketleap.com/fat-men-in-skirtsnyc/.
Advance purchase for this extremely limited run is strongly recommended, although tickets may also be purchased at the door on a space-available basis.

The run time of Molotov's Fat Men in Skirts is approximately 95 minutes with no intermission. Please pee before entering.

Nosedive Productions Co-Founding Co-Artistic Director James Comtois said, "The folks at Molotov make exactly the type of theatre that excites us here at Nosedive Central: sweet, funny and horrifying all at once. So we're thrilled to be bringing their delightfully effed up play up to New York from DC."

"We're grateful to the kindred spirits at Nosedive Productions for helping us put this show on its feet in New York," said Molotov Artistic Director Kevin Finkelstein. "UNDER St. Marks is the perfect venue for us – shadowy, quirky and right in the middle of all the action. That's the perfect recipe for Molotov's special brand of nonsense."

Written by Nicky Silver, Fat Men in Skirts was Molotov Theatre Group's fifth Capital Fringe Festival production, and the first ever Capital Fringe show to be "Helen Hayes Awards Recommended." The Helen Hayes Awards are Washington DC's most prestigious theatre community honors – what the heck is Molotov doing getting this kind of recognition?

Fat Men in Skirts features DC area actors Katie Culligan, Dave Gamble, K. Clare Johnson and Matthew Marcus. The play follows Phyllis Hogan and her son, Bishop, stranded on a desert island in an increasingly "interesting" relationship. Rescued five years later, they discover the family's philandering patriarch involved with a young porn star. Chaos, insanity, violence, cannibalism, and sidesplitting hilarity ensue.

STRONGLY RECOMMENDED FOR COUNTER-CULTURAL, UNDERGROUND AND CULT FANS WITH PROPERLY WORKING HEART AND CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEMS.
