Red Emma & the Mad Monk
RED EMMA & THE MAD MONK, with music by GMTWP Alum Teresa Lotz (Cycle 22) and words by Alexis Roblan with direction by Katie Lindsay is being presented at The Tank in NYC as part of Ladyfest after a sold-out performance at Ars Nova's ANT Fest last June.
The show follows 12 year-old Addison, who has a lot of questions about the world and very little parental supervision. Her best (imaginary) friend is a turn-of-the-19th-century Russian mystic, and her favorite pastime is fighting with deplorables on the internet. But when Addison starts to learn about another turn-of-the-century Russian -- the American immigrant and Anarchist, Emma Goldman -- she begins questioning the meaning of political action and just how far we should go to fight oppressive systems.
Mystics, anarchists, and snowflakes swirl in this new Russo-American cabaret-style musical about Emma Goldman, Rasputin, and a 12-year-old American girl who's obsessed with both of them and can't get off Twitter.
