In the latest comic meditation from renowned playwright Murray Mednick, The Fool and the Red Queen experiments with archetypes to explore human nature and the processes of theater. A struggling actor named Gary finds himself at a nightmarish audition where the audience discovers the magical ability of the theater to create new realities -- in this case, a darkly funny and improvised play-within-a-play similar to Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf and Marie and Bruce. Driven by poetic impulse rather than linear storytelling, The Fool and the Red Queen is a ruefully funny, lyrical look at the theater and the natural elements that drive us all. Learn More

Although there were comedic elements, I would not list these as comedies because they dealt with serious issues of romance, trust and commitment. Excellent work.Written on Jul 06 2009

These were a couple of the best plays I have ever seen! It's hard to say whether I liked the acting better or the writing, but both were superb. I will definitely be looking for anything produced by these people or written by Matt Morillo. I've already called my friends to let them know this is a must see.Written on Jun 01 2009
It's hard to know where to start raving about the acting. It was so believable I felt as though I was watching real life unfold. All of the actors were great, but I became particularly invested in the pairing of Keenan Henson and Jessica Moreno in "Marriage Hearse." Noteworthy was the gradual progression in body language the pair exhibited as their conversation began to progress and intensify.
"Stay Over" was also immensely entertaining, although I was modestly disconcerted by the fact that Moreno also acted in the second play. This made things a bit less inherently believable, but I certainly enjoyed watching her work her magic for another hour.
I won't say much about JessAnn Smith's thoroughly enjoyable performance (and I hope that other reviewers will be kind enough to follow suit); it added a lot of entertainment value to an already wonderful production.
Bravo all around!

Description
In the first one-act, "All Aboard the Marriage Hearse", Sean and Amy are a typical co-habitating, Catholic/Jewish, twenty-something couple living in Manhattan. They work hard, love each other and share common goals in life. Well, sort of. After nearly three years together, Amy wants to get married but Sean does not believe in the institution. The game is on!!! Tonight is the night when they will settle the marriage question once and for all.
"Stay Over", the second half of Apartment 6 & 9, centers around a couple, Mark and Michelle, trying to reconcile after infidelity and it teaches an important lesson: if you're trying to kiss and make up on a snowy night, don't answer the door buzzer. The play spins hilarious comedy out of Mark's attempt to have his cake and eat it too as he plots to escape with his mistress, Lily, after his reconciliation with Michelle is complete.
The playscript for “Stay Over” is actually Matt Morillo's comedic adaptation of "Sleepover" by Maria Micheles (2007), a gloomy dramatic treatment of a menage-a-trois in modern New York.
