Fringe veteran Katherine King pays homage to the Greek tradition of a “satyr play” with an absurd farce that touches upon universal dilemmas…and celebrates positive female sexuality.
LOSANGELES – Katherine King lives with a real-life satyr.
She first befriended actor-writer Jeremiah Benjamin in a writing group she hosts, Westside Original Works. Inspired by his naturally bombastic, fantastical style, she created a character for him as her long-lost father, who happens to be a half-man, half-goat woodland deity straight out of ancient mythology. When he became her housemate a few months ago, Katherine decided it was the perfect time to flesh out the characters in a full-length, saucy comedy.
The result is Horny-The Musical, making its world premiere at The Hobgoblin Playhouse at The Arena Stage this June as part of the Hollywood Fringe Festival.
