TOSOS presents "We   Met in Dublin"

 

Kathleen says:

Remember that time I was supposed to go to the Dublin Gay   Theatre Festival with my new play? But I couldn't go because THE NIGHT BEFORE   I was to leave, my appendix done blowed up? I sure remember it! But now you   (and I) will have a chance to see "The Further Adventures of…" as   part of an evening of two new plays presented by TOSOS, NYC's oldest   professional LGBT theater.

 

And, because you are so special to me, dear DCW fans, I've   arranged for a discount that will take a third off the price. If you're in   NYC and so inclined, use the code DCW12 when you purchase your tickets   online for a $6 discount.

 

Here are the deets:

They met in Dublin, now they're meeting again in New York.

 

TOSOS (The Other Side of Silence), in association with   Theater 167, presents two new plays, The Further Adventures of…" by   Kathleen Warnock and "Adam & Eva," by Jack McMahon and Yasmin   Zadeh, at The West End Theater at the Church of St. Paul & St. Andrew,   263 W. 86th St., for 6 performances from Nov. 16-25.

 

"When we took 'The Further Adventures of…' to the   International Dublin Gay Theatre Festival in May, we shared the Players   Theatre at Trinity College with 'Adam & Eva'," said TOSOS Artistic   Director Mark Finley. "We loved Jack and Yasmin, and their show. So when   we had a chance to work with them in NYC, we did everything we could to make   it happen."

 

The award-winning Theater 167, a resident company at the   church stepped in to provide the space on the dark nights of their current   production, and the Dublin duo had a New York City home.

 

Directed by Eric Chase, "The Further Adventures   of…" starring Tim Burke, Mark Finley and Jamie Heinlein, tells the   story of a little girl who grows up to be a writer (and a lesbian). Follow   Maggie Day as she uncovers the story of Commander Zoron and Prince Kal in the   '50s sci-fi serial, Atlantis, 1 Million Years B.C., and learns about the   actors who portrayed them, Drake Darling and Frank Gallagher, and follows   their paths from a classic sci-fi show to the age of the internet, revealing   hidden secrets, lost loves, and the things people couldn't say then (and   maybe even now?)

 

Temporary Theatre's "Adam & Eva" is written and   performed by McMahon and Zadeh, and tells the story of Adam, who wants to be   a nun and Eva, who wants to be a boy. Together, the two of them navigate the   coming out process, from their first visit to a gay bar to the horrific consequences   of homophobia and gay-bashing.

 

Performances are Mon-Wed at 7pm, from Nov. 16-18, and Nov.   23-25. Tickets are available at http://wewmetindublin.brownpapertickets.com/  and   cash only at the door.
