Savage in Limbo
March roars once more into the Black Cat as ‘The Nasty Attic Players’ take on John Patrick Shanley’s classic Bronx tale ‘Savage in Limbo’. The superb direction by Jenn Bornstein and the powerful acting by the players creates an evening of sheer delight for the audience. As the story dances from searing comedy to near tragedy as it explores the hopes and dreams of a group of rootless ‘thirty something’s’ in a Bronx bar.
We first did this show in our opening season as ‘The Nasty Attic Players’. Now, fifteen years later, a completely different crew tackled this searing piece of New York thirty something angst. It was delightful to produce this new take with Tailgate’s Tom Olori. The director Jenn Bornstein assembled a fabulous cast of actors and she brought such a surge of fresh energy to the place. Tom and Jenn did the main set design, and we spent ages decorating the place. I had a lot of fun working on the shelves behind the bar. Assembling the 101 things that an older drinking establishment collects. The show was an artistic success and a highlight out of what had already been a year of very good work.
