Theater Grottesco Presents: Two Artists in Prison

Two Artists in Prison is an original play where creativity becomes a lifeline in the face of captivity. In an imagined near future where teachers, journalists, artists and all who are “different” are imprisoned, two artists must tell a story every day to appease the guards. Today, the story is Beowulf and one of the prisoners doesn’t know the story.

Together, their imaginations take the audience on a journey of one of western civilization’s oldest stories, exploring the origins of wealth, the necessity of the other to define good and evil, and the courage of artists as the keepers of stories/history.

Two Artists in Prison will be performed by Danielle Reddick and Mona Malec and directed by John Flax and Apollo Garcia. TG has partnered with veteran groups along with international teens to craft a script that resonates with diverse perspectives and experiences. Audiences can look forward to a unique blend of Theater Grottesco’s signature physical theater styles.
