You're Going to Bleed: An All-American Black Comedy

DIVAfest presents Melissa Fall's dark comedy, You're Going to Bleed, about two couples who learn about life, love and what it means to be American the hard way. Anne is trying to get her apathetic husband John in bed, while John is fantasizing about his teenage student Abigail. Meanwhile, Abigail is only fantasizing about having a bigger role in the story and getting her own monologue. Then there's Anne's sister Helen and her husband, whom Anne only married because of his good looks. This drop-dead funny and scathingly honest portrayal of the battle between the sexes is also a delightful skewering of the American theater canon. Before the end there will be a haunting, a glass unicorn will shatter, a dinner party will come to a violent end and -- spoiler alert -- someone is going to bleed. Learn More

Written on Oct 06 2008Mostly boring tired plot and overdone.

Written on Oct 06 2008The set and staging were fresh and imaginative.
The Precarious Theatre company did a fine job of creating many characters with a small cast.
I'm not a fan of musicals, but the music and songs in this piece fit as part of the story and drama. I loved it.
I was in suspense until the very end regarding the outcome of the story.

Description
<p>When two couples find their desires thwarted by parents, fate, and friends, they set out on a chaotic adventure into the Spanish wilderness. Amidst the mountains, the young couples are tangled in a web of desires, hilarious antics, mistaken identities, and revenge. Did we mention mistaken identities?</p> <p>With I’m Yours!, or Deranged by Love, Precarious Theatre sinks its teeth into the idea of emotional risk-taking we all experience as we leap and fall head-over-heels in love. The ensemble incorporates many of the traditions of classical Spanish literature, which strongly influenced Elizabethan drama, including Shakespeare. In fact, Shakespeare used the same plot from this Cervantes episode as the source of his own play, The History of Cardenio, which has been lost.</p> <p>Linking past with present, I’m Yours! brings classical notions of love into the here and now through rock-influenced love songs by H. P. Mendoza and the use of stylized, Picasso-inspired puppets. This show brings together several different disciplines in the company’s training including physical theater, classical comedy, and puppetry. It’s a brand new love story 400 years in the making.</p>
