This gut-wrenching dark comedy shines the light on our modern world and the effect technology can have on our sense of identity. It's the story of a young executive who attempts to disappear in order to escape his feelings of guilt and anxiety. We travel with him down a rabbit hole and into a world of holograms, where he visits a seaside fortune teller and is haunted by visions of a pathologist who swears he's already dead on her slab. In a grim landscape that is constantly changing, he -- and the audience-- struggle to discern reality. This compelling look at what makes us who we are in the 21st century won the 38th Arts Council John Whiting Award for New Theatre Writing and the Peter Brook Award.

Beach Blanket Babylon: Long-Running Musical Comedy Revue at Club Fugazi

Full Price:: $53.00
Our Price:: $26.50

Steve Silver's Beach Blanket Babylon is the world's longest-running musical revue. Since 1974, this San Francisco institution has followed Snow White on a musical comedy quest around the world, where she runs into satirically portrayed pop-culture and political celebrities, an impressive array of gigantic hats and one show-stopping musical number after another. Because the show is constantly updated with new costumes, hats and characters, it rewards repeat visits. Among the familiar faces you might see spoofed in Beach Blanket's latest incarnation: Lady Gaga, Barack and Michelle Obama, the cast of Glee, Kate Middleton and Adele. Even after nearly 40 years, Beach Blanket Babylon remains one of San Francisco's wildest evenings of live entertainment. Learn More

Stellar cast and an amazing, breathtaking performance. The director was loyal to the British playwright, complete with accents, dress, and British slang. I will definitely go to see their next show this year.

A dark, wry exploration of identity, personality and who controls them. (The individual or the world around him.) You won't leave the theatre humming a merry tune, but you'll be glad you went.

Smart and clever. A little long / draggy for the message; would have been improved with 30 minutes or so edited out.

It is fantastic to have earnest theater on H Street. We saw the performance the first week and although the production had a few slight snags, the intensity of the story and the performances made "How to . . " a thoroughly enjoyable evening. Kudos also for the set design!
