In Rogue Machine Theatre's The New Electric Ballroom, three aging sisters in a small Irish village tell and retell the story of a dance hall of their youth, a certain handsome rock star and the night that changed their lives forever. Their only visitor is a lonely fishmonger, who may ultimately offer the sisters an escape from the stories they've let imprison them. Irish playwright Enda Walsh was called "one of the most dazzling wordsmiths of contemporary theatre" by The Guardian (UK).

Dying City: L.A. Premiere of Psychological Drama

Full Price:
$30.00
Our Price:
$15.00

Rogue Machine Theatre presents the L.A. premiere of Dying City, an intimate new play from Christopher Shinn (Where Do We Live). One year after his identical twin brother, Craig, dies under suspicious circumstances in Iraq, Peter shows up unannounced at his sister-in-law Kelly's apartment. Having not spoken since the funeral, Peter and Kelly face off in a passive-aggressive psychological battle rooted in half-truths and feelings of betrayal. The pair's emotionally brutal skirmish is interspersed with flashbacks of Craig's final night at home before deployment. Michael Peretzian directs this subtle commentary on the heartbreaking ramifications of war. Learn More

Amazing acting. Lisa Pelikan, Tim Cummings, Casey Kramer and Betsy Zajko are so into character you feel as if you are eavesdropping on the crazy neighbors. Theatre is small-44 seats, so there is not a bad seat in the house. Standing ovation when I was there. Only one more weekend to go and it is over. This is a must see.

Way up there with the highest quality theatre I've ever seen, on either coast and London. Rich, moving, shockingly fearless acting. Brilliant writing and direction. Beautiful, evocative scenic, sound and light design. Truly a great piece of theatre.
