@ THE SON OF SEMELE THEATER - 3301 Beverly Blvd. Los Angeles (near Echo Park/Silverlake) 90038

In this 'new' series of performances, Rachel Kolar & Lauren Brown have added a second and revelatory ACT which takes the two main characters further into a world surrealism and exploration.

I urge you to see this play as it is bizarre, fun, graphic, unique and relevant to the world we live in today.  It features the music of Hecuba, Rainbow Arabia, and Black Hole Oscillators...  a few of the great emerging avant garde electronic, experimental musical outings in Los Angeles at the moment.   

A summary of ACT 1-
In a post-apocalyptic setting, two young and flamboyant socialites, Rachel Kolar & Lauren Brown, are depressed by the bleak state of the aftermath of war. No longer is there room for extravagance, no longer are there parties and delusions of grandeur. In attempts to glorify the need for excessive materialism they devise a movement of neon colors, empty consumerism, absurd rules of engagement and foppish costumes. When their movement takes a turn too dark for the pretty pair of dipsomaniacal flamingos, chaos ensues. What is left for our sad debutantes? The only thing left after destruction, to build a bomb to blow up the world!
