John Cameron Mitchell's outrageous musical comedy Hedwig and the Angry Inch centers around Hedwig, a young East German man who discovers that the only way to escape communism and come to America is to give up -- surgically -- a little part of himself. Hedwig's story is presented through a as a rock concert/stand-up comedy gig format in which the charismatic singer takes the audience on an emotional roller coaster ride through the funny, touching, painful and ultimately inspiring experience of being Hedwig. The fantastic rock score has been winning fans and acclaim since the musical first debuted a decade ago. The musical won a Village Voice Obie Award and the Outer Critics Circle Award for Best Off-Broadway Musical on its debut. Creator John Cameron Mitchell went on to star in and direct the award-winning 2001 film version of Hedwig, which became a cult hit that continues to play at midnight movies. Learn More

The actor and actress who played George and Martha were outstanding!! Even though this play was about 3 hours long and takes place in just one room with only four people, we were absolutely riveted the entire time. The dialogue is so packed with meaning (and there's a lot of it!), you really need to pay attention or you'll miss something.Written on Feb 24 2009

The play is great, the actors and actresses were all good. It is a long play, with two intermissions. Be sure you're not tired when you see this.Written on Feb 23 2009

Description
Directed by Michael Dale Brown
George, a professor at a small college, and his wife, Martha, have just returned home from a Saturday night party. Martha announces that she has invited a young couple -- an opportunistic new professor at the college and his shatteringly naive new bride -- to stop by for a nightcap. When they arrive drinks flow and suddenly inhibitions melt. It becomes clear that Martha is determined to seduce the young professor, and George couldn't care less. But underneath the edgy banter, which is crossfired between both couples, lurks an undercurrent of tragedy and despair. George and Martha's inhuman bitterness toward one another is provoked by the enormous personal sadness that they have pledged to keep to themselves: a secret that has seemingly been the foundation for their relationship. In the end, the mystery in which the distressed George and Martha have taken refuge is exposed, once and for all revealing the degrading mess they have made of their lives.
Winner of both the 1963 Tony Award for Best Play and the 1962-63 New York Drama Critics' Circle Award for Best Play.
It was also nominated for the 1963 Pulitzer Prize for Drama.
