'The Last Of The Bohemians'
at the Medicine Show Theatre
Princes’ Kisses Theatre Group present The Last Of The Bohemians, by Stelios Manolakakis, opening at the Medicine Show Theatre on the 16 Sep 2005, following previews from the 8 Sep 2005 and runs through to the 2 Oct 2005
Set in the summer of 1966 and inspired by real-life events, The Last Of The Bohemians paints an intimate portrait of a group of NYC-based artists and poets as they gather in the Hamptons to share a house for the summer.
The free-spirited group revolves around poet Frank O’ Hara (the chain-smoking, voraciously gay former curator of the Museum of Modern Art) and includes painters Larry Rivers and Jane Frielicher, poet Joe LaSueur, Rivers’ mother-in-law Berdie Berger and co-founder of the Paris Review Patsy Southgate. Sex, drugs, campy humor and free love abound (along with passionate debates about art, politics and the meaning of life)...until a sudden tragedy occurs that signals not only the end of the summer, but the end of an era.
The Last Of The Bohemians cast, directed by Stelios Manolakakis, features: Ian Thomaschik, Lucas Steele, Carla Brandenberg, Esther Barlow, Stewart Cummings, Ewan Ross and Melissa Silver.
The Last Of The Bohemians has scenic design by Kat Graytok; costume design by Tamara Saffioti; lighting design by Doug Filomena.
