In a shabby New England motel, three members of a New York theatre group have arrived with a scheme. As the evening darkens and unravels, so do their ambitions and secrets. This dark comedy -- from Pulitzer-nominee Adam Rapp (Red Light Winter, Nocturne) -- is a visceral, provocative, oddball piece about a group of artists desperately trying to force a place for themselves.

Very funny and entertaining theater of the absurd. An insider's insane critique of the theater business. For mature and intelligent audiences.

This is a rollercoaster ride full of drugs, swearing and comedy. The cast is strong, but the themes are mature and can be difficult for some audience members. Be sure to bring your valium!

Quotes & Highlights

  • “A splendid seven-member ensemble make the grotesque goings-on in this West Coast premiere staging quite gripping, generating food for thought and a fare share of shivers. The enduring elements in this unnerving piece are its droll pitch-black humor and the fascinating portrait of pure evil—likely to turn off some audiences while mesmerizing others. The performances are superb, finely calibrated under Block's sharp direction." --Backstage
  • “The acting is exceptional. Perfectly suited for Rogue Machine’s late night alternative series, Off the Clock. Take a late night ride down Pico and take a chance on Bingo with the Indians.” --EyeSpyLA

Description

<p>This West Coast premiere marks the debut of Rogue Machine’s ‘Off the Clock,’ a late-night series of bold, taut, intoxicating theatrical concoctions for the artistically daring crowd.

Playwright Adam Rapp is also a novelist, screenwriter, filmmaker, and musician.  He is the author of numerous young adult and adult novels.  Rapp’s novel The Buffalo Tree was censored by the Muhlenberg School Board.  His award-winning plays include Nocturne, Finer Noble Gases, and Red Light Winter, which sold out its initial Steppenwolf run in Chicago and transferred to a hugely successful Off-Broadway run that was nominated for the Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 2005.  Rapp completed a two-year playwriting fellowship at The Juilliard School.  He directed his first film, Winter Passing with Zooey Deschanel and Will Ferrell in 2005 and was a creative consultant for the television show The L Word.  Rapp was a member of the Bottomside, which released the independent CD The Element Man in September 2004.  He is currently a member of Less the Band, which released Bear in April 2006.  Bingo With The Indians was originally produced at the Flea Theatre in NYC in  2007, directed by the playwright himself for the group of 20-something actors in the Flea's company.  Playwright Marsha Norman describes him as "a writer the world was going to listen to for as long as he felt like writing...he writes like nobody else, his fierce poetic power as inescapable as the doom that waits for his characters."</p>
