EVIL TIME . . . Time for MDR's monthly Theatre in the Loft! And this time, it's EVIL! This month MDR presents a reading of David Johnston's Evil Time as part of our ongoing play development series focused on new and innovative American theatre. Come see a brand new work performed by MDR's world-renowned performers, and then stay after the show for amazing conversation with the writers and cast! Don't miss this next opportunity to help a new work take shape. WHEN: Sunday, September 8th at 7 PM In Evil Time, we watch as Ray, a clean young Christian, begins his internship at King of Kings World Media Corp. (a nexus of power, media and political influence in the Christian right movement). He quickly discovers that all is not as it seems to be: Dr. Billy has visions, Florence carries a gun, and before long Ray is having an affair with a mysterioius male UPS carrier. Oh, and then the two of them uncover a fiendish plot by religious conservatives to bring about the end of the world. Violence, religious extremism, and black comedy all collide in this slapstick tragedy. |
