Out, Damned Spot
Out, Damned Spot is not a play. It's a bold, genre-bending storytelling event-part dramatic monologue, part acoustic punk seance. Backed by the high-voltage sounds of Foghorn Lil, Kirsten Ruško makes her debut as a fierce new voice in narrative performance. Together, they conjure a world where witches fight back against the broligarchy and the glitter-soaked battle for the future begins.
One voice. One guitar. Blood will have blood. Long live the queen.
There's a certain rawness to this show that makes it endearing. And I love it when the artists display how much they like what they're doing. Their joy for their work is infectious. A retelling of one of Shakespeare's greatest hits, the show is a good mix of storytelling and music, activism and whimsy. Give this show a chance and have an enjoyable 45 minutes.
a modern feminist rewrite of one of Shakespeare's hits! the music was fun and it was a very in your face breakdown of the current societal system. gonna be honest, i was expecting more glitter.
