Bring a Weasel and a Pint of Your Own Blood
Bring a Weasel and a Pint of Your Own Blood is a program of plays written by playwrights and produced by playwrights. Each year a group of former and current students from Mac Wellman's Brooklyn College MFA Playwriting program produce work that you think you might recognize but which you don't. Whether it's an old play, a short story, a book, a media event, a set of old newspaper clippings, or whatever other ideas enter their heads, the Weasels chew on the old texts and adapt them into something new. This year's lineup includes:
- The Play Jorge Luis Borges Might Have Written Had He Written A Play (after Jorge Luis Borges) by Susan Melinda Dunlap, directed by Kyle Ancowitz: A man steps out of an ancient and foggy forest to ask his audience to help him lift the fog that has filled his mind.
- A Meditation On The Misanthrope: 10 Years Later (after Moliere) by Valerie Work, directed by Meghan Finn: Explores the aftermath of the original play with the setting transposed from Louis XIV's court to a modern-day New York advertising agency.
- Large Bitter Drops (after Edgar Allen Poe) by Matt Korahais, directed by Jude Domski: A crippled jester, a dwarf serving girl, and a deranged king are all consumed in a ghastly plot of revenge.
- I Am Exceedingly Fond Of Welsh Rabbit (after Edgar Allen Poe) by Trish Harnetiaux, directed by Jude Domski: In a world dominated by Brown Stout, what would you do if a 4,000 year-old Mummy woke up and asked for a phone? Have a Brown Stout I bet...
