“Love art in yourself, and not yourself in art.” ― Konstantin Stanislavski

An exceptional Kristopher Lee Bicknell will star in a limited engagement of “Dramatis Personæ” at Theatre Asylum for the 2014 Hollywood Fringe Festival.

“Dramatis Personæ” is a comedic and thought-provoking one-man show, a meeting of an actor’s diligent research and an ingenious tour-de-force of performance. The actor shares some wonderful gems that he has unearthed from the dim recesses of theatre history. These are roles that once enjoyed great popularity, but had been so closely associated with the distinguished performances of particular actors of their time that they have rarely (or in some cases, never) been performed by others until now. The actor brings both a genuine respect and a passionate portrayal to a series of selected pieces, both deeply dramatic and side-splittingly funny. The result is a revelation for audiences, a bravura performance of surprising wit, subtlety, passion, and heartbreaking vulnerability.

This show will be the fourth Hollywood Fringe Festival production for Vespertine Productions, following the innovative and praised production of Sam Shepard’s “Fool for Love” and the acclaimed production of Harold Pinter’s “The Dumb Waiter”. They are also the creators behind the hilarious original play “The History of the World (All of It)”, the original series “Crombie’s Zombies”, and the feature film “Hello, My Name is Charlie”. In more than 8 years of crafting both written and original material, Vespertine is proud to claim this production as some of their best and most inventive work to date.

“Dramatis Personæ” begins its limited engagement on June 7th and continues through June 27th. The five performances will be held on Saturday, June 7th @ 5:30pm, Thursday, June 12th @ 8:30pm, Monday, June 16th @ 7:00pm, Monday, June 23rd @ 8:30pm, and Friday, June 27th @ 7:00pm. Performances will be held at Theatre Asylum at 6320 Santa Monica Blvd. in Los Angeles, CA 90038.
