Special K
The following description was submitted by the event organizer.
Imago Theatre presents Jerry Mouawad's strange, fascinating and funny new play Special K mashes master playwright Luigi Pirandello's reality puzzles with vaudeville, tragedy and time-hopping romps through the Black Plague of the Middle Ages and back to the dark year of 2020.
Inspired by Pirandello's Henry IV, writer/director Jerry Mouawad's humorous, haunting and deeply provocative Special K draws on many sources in popular culture to explore inner and outer dimensions of theatrical convention, mental health issues and the very nature of reality.
