'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.
