BUZZFEED NAMES "DARK ARTS" MOST ANTICIPATED FRINGE SHOW

DARK ARTS

Dark Arts
From the creator of last year’s hilarious and incisive “Porn Rock” comes “Dark Arts”, described as, “HOUSE OF CARDS meets VEEP in this dark comedy about America’s hidden power structure, and the professional spin doctors locked in eternal war with it. Entrepreneur Marcia Bradford is in crisis: someone is smearing her in the media. The crisis PR firm of Lyndsey Klein & Andrew St. Jude must find out who the perpetrator is before Bradford is destroyed…or they destroy themselves.”

It sounds like playwright Lawrence Meyers is playing with political satire again, and the world of crisis PR sounds captivating, a world we have not seen portrayed before. “Porn Rock” was exceptionally well-cast, and Meyers has gone back to the same well with Elizabeth Dement portraying Bradford.

“Dark Arts” also takes a new presentational approach, blending immersive and proscenium elements. The Fringe description says that there will be an immersive “Prelude” that takes place in a separate location on certain days, with the proscenium show at The Ruby Theater at The Complex, followed by a “Finale” taking place the last week of June, after Fringe ends.

“Dark Arts” stars Dement, Meyers, Damien Gerard, Stephanie Hyden, Terence Leclere, Toni Perrotta, and Erika Quintana.

Tickets for all three shows can be purchased at www.darkartsplay.com and the proscenium show at http://www.hollywoodfringe.org/projects/4649?tab=tickets
