Men On Boats

Great challenge for two reasons:

1) Although it’s ‘Men On Boats’, the cast is all female, so it needs some ‘hints’ towards the gender juxtaposition.

2) At the request of the director/client – can you do it in a Cubism style!

Ten explorers. Four boats. One Grand Canyon. A raucous adventure and the true(ish) story of an 1869 expedition by the one-armed captain John Wesley Powell and a crew of eccentric volunteers who set out to chart the course of the Colorado River. This mad, gender-bent comedy from one of our most acclaimed playwrights is, in the words of New York Magazine, “marvelously destabilizing both as history and theater,” and “biting satire when sent up by women.”
