劇中角色,各個魅力動人,無法抗拒,但是每個人都有不為人知的陰謀和醜惡的一面!其中舊愛暗潮洶湧,而新歡危機四伏。這齣戲像是一杯雞尾酒,調著烈酒及各個角色暗藏的心機,結果只有一個,令人屏息以待。跟我們一起進入這個混亂且充滿謀殺陰謀的劇中世界吧!絕對值回票價!

A devastating and dazzling group of characters, their dark sordid secrets and scams! Old love affairs that bubble beneath the surface, new ones under dangerous pressure. It's a deadly cocktail of alcohol and motives, with only one outcome. Enter into this intriguing world of mayhem and murder. It's to die for.

Enjoy this highly entertaining and unique interactive theatre experience. An exhilarating rollercoaster ride of comedy atmosphere and fun.

Drinks at 7.00pm in the cocktail lounge, followed by a fine dinner. The scene is set for you - the glamorous guests. You'll be introduced and mingle with the colourful characters of the play. There's the flamboyant and unforgettable Henry Craon, (that's French by the way), the lovely Lord or is it Lady Doomsbury, who pulls you in all the right places. There's the not so shallow, bleached blonde actress, Miss Bunnie Berringer, and Sean O Reilly, the Irish rogue who’ll be serving you all night long. Then, there's the overbearing academic, Janet Stafford and the intriguing Dr Bogwater from Oxford.

Before cocktail hour ends, events unfold and the saga begins. Find yourself in the heart of a thrilling murder mystery investigation. Listen and look for the clues, piece them together and be the first to solve these dastardly crimes.

Sat & Sun 7/16-17: 舞台劇之夜 "Polish Joke" - A Comedy by David Ives

cast2.jpg

用幽默開開波蘭血統一個笑話,這齣戲充滿詼諧戲謔的幽默,座位有限,及早訂位喔!!(全劇英文發音,入場觀眾需年滿18歲以上)

A hilarious yet thoughtful examination of the 'Polishness' and 'Jewishness' and 'Irishness' that makes us at once alike and different, this comedy is about ethnic identity and the eternal American search for "roots." The lead character, Jasiu, is a Polish-American who has been taught not to value his own roots, so he decides to make new ones, reinventing himself first as a sort of non-ethnic everyman, then as an "Irishman." In the end, by trying to get away from his ethnic background, Jasiu find out who he really is, and learns to value it.

Outcast Theatre is a new English language theatre group. Most members have trodden the boards together before, though this performance also features an injection of talented new blood. Cast members are Peter Balfry, Josh Fairey, Maurice Harrington, Paul Jackson and Melanie Micco; debuting are Pam Dmytruk, Chris Garvin and Olga Grezlikowska.

請即早訂位,每場只有70張限量票喔!

Mon 6/27: Theater performance - "Fragments of What is Necessary"

FoWiN for Living Room.jpg

In a special Living Room booking, actor Mauro Sacchi will be performing a one man piece entitled "Fragments of What is Necessary."

"I am interested in people, in their processes, their struggles, their conflicts and conscious and unconscious resolutions. Their joys. Are artists blessed with more depth of feeling and understanding than their fellow humans, and thus able to make visible what was invisible? Are they blessed--and cursed--to live a life that is necessarily more intense, more satisfying, more heartbreaking?

I believe the artistic process is akin to the "normal" process of being alive, presenting, in a magnified version perhaps, the same problems, frustrations, anxieties that we all face: to look at the creative methods and mechanisms, then, is to look at humanity itself, at the shared consciousness that makes us all who we are, and able to relate on a very basic level, to dialogue and learn, and overcome obstacles and interruptions.

This fragment, this performance, is an attempt to do just that, and present these issues, for myself and others, on stage. It may be immediate enough to prove effective and worthwhile."

I believe the artistic process presents, in a magnified version, the same problems, frustrations, anxieties that we all face as human beings.

To look at the creative mechanisms, then, is to look at humanity itself, at the shared consciousness that makes us all who we are, and able to relate on a basic level, to dialogue and learn, to overcome obstacles and interruptions.

This fragment is an attempt to do just that, and present these issues, for myself and others, on stage.

It may be immediate enough to prove effective and worthwhile.


「必要」碎片
我相信藝術的創作過程,廣義來說,表現了我們人類共同面對的問題、挫折和焦慮。

看創作的過程,就是去看人類本身、看使我們變成所謂的「我們」的那個「共同的意識」,因此,我們能夠在一個基礎上發生關連,彼此進行對話和學習,也因而能夠克服所面對的困難。

這個「碎片」是個試圖呈現以上觀點的嘗試,並用表演的方式,為我自己和其他人呈現出這些問題。也許立即,此演出就會證明它值得做,且會對人們產生影響力。

Time: 9:00pm - 10:00pm

Directed by Inouk Touzin, this theatrical reading of the radical comedy by Italian activist Dario Fo is filled with zany actors who will be sure to keep you captivated and laughing. Get ready for an evening of fun!

Time: 9:00pm - 11:00pm - ($350 + 1 beer)

THIS IS A BENEFIT SHOW: PROCEEDS DONATED TO TSUNAMI RELIEF EFFORTS

More details:

A radical comedy by Italian activist Dario Fo, "Archangels Don't Play Pinball" tells the story of Lanky, a petty criminal living on his wits who tries to go straight and struggles hysterically to work within a system of hookers, bureaucrats, and con men in the american society. Through moments of misadventures, including a brief stay in a dog kennel because of a paper-work confusion, the play spins to a manic and unexpected finale about "the madness of man, [and] the madness of bureaucracy." Lanky's story unfolds in one of Fo's most accomplished farces and, typical of Fo, it will have you howling for more!

"Archangels Don't Play Pinball" catapulted Nobel Prize winner Dario Fo to international fame. Drawing on traditions ranging from the commedia dell'arte to puppetry, clowning, and storytelling, Fo with his wife and collaborator Franca Rame have subjected every institution, political party, power broker, corrupt organization, and controversial law to their formidable satirical powers. Over the years, they have been censored, banned, rebuked, denied visas - and played to packed houses all over the world.
