"The Eaten Heart" at 217 East 42nd Street
An original play developed by The Debate Society
May 31 - June 4, 2006 at 8PM
special "suggested donation" matinee performance, June 4th at 2PM
The Debate Society presents "The Eaten Heart", a work-shop performance of the Brooklyn based company's newest play. "The Eaten Heart" draws inspiration from Boccaccio's The Decameron, in which 100 stories are told over 10 days by 10 people - a community gathered together trying to cheat the Black Death that is ravaging the continent. These darkly comedic and bawdy tales serve as the spring board for Hannah Bos, Paul Thureen and Oliver Butler's newest creation: a modern lucid dream that matches The Decameron for hilarious, erotic and occasionally gory twists.
