'The Girl in the Flammable Skirt' at Walkerspace


Ateh Theater Group present The Girl in the Flammable Skirt, stories from the book by Aimee Bender adapted for the stage by Bridgette Dunlap, opening at Walkerspace on the 15 Oct 2005, following previews from the 12 Oct 2005 and running through to the 29 Oct 2005

Pushing the boundaries of realism with fantastical transformations and deformities, The Girl in the Flammable Skirt investigates the nature of otherness and isolation with humor and pathos.

Bridgette Dunlap adapts Aimee Bender's short stories, creating a world twisted on its axis. Mimi is a closeted mermaid. Annie�s lover is experiencing reverse evolution. The fire girl can�t stop burning things. A pregnant teen is sent to live with a hunchback. And a girl goes up in flames.

The Girl in the Flammable Skirt's cast, directed by Bridgette Dunlap, features: Jeff Addiss, Cormac Bluestone, Ryan Canfield, Kathryn Ekblad, Alexis Grausz, Sara Montgomery, Madeleine Maby, Elizabeth Neptune and Joe Stipek.
