Beginning January 22 at 8:00 p.m., Brat will present our acclaimed production of Eugène Ionesco’s absurdist masterpiece, THE BALD SOPRANO. Not just once or twice, but 24 times in a row! Six actors. Twenty-four shows. No breaks. No kidding. A biting send-up of social conventions, THE BALD SOPRANO finishes where it began—with the Smiths and Martins, the Maid and Fire Chief trapped by silly routines, mindless manners and non-stop non-communication. Presented in 1998 and 2007, A 24-Hour THE BALD SOPRANO has, as Philadelphia Weekly notes, “an almost legendary status in local theater.” This night-and-day, come-and-go event transforms a 60-minute play about suburban malaise into a spectacle of human endurance and audience participation.
