RAT Moving Arts Playreading 4/24
Hi RATs,
On Tuesday April 24, 8:00 pm, Moving Arts will present a reading of PLANET
OF THE MUTAGENS, a play by Mary Fengar Gail, directed by Trey Nichols,
featuring Frankie Cohen, Kimberly Glann, Brian Newkirk, Keith
Sellon-Wright, and Lori Yeghiayan.
PLANET OF THE MUTAGENS is a comic drama revolving around the efforts of
FERNELLE MILLMORE, a young linguist-savant, to translate the arcane speech
of two patients experiencing an evolutionary metamamorphosis, the result of
an experiment gone awry. The play is told from the point of view of
Fernelle's father FELIX MILLMORE, a college professor and lapsed
intellectual who comes to believe that the Mutagens hold the visionary key
to the future of humankind. As the Mutagens evolve, the play explores the
idea of language as the human mind's ultimate triumph and ultimate failure,
able to address rules of syntax, grammar and vocabulary, but incapable of
communicating all the nuances of hope, desire, fear, and need that exist in
the troubled hearts of Felix and Fernelle.
The reading will be held at Moving Arts' mainstage at the Los Angeles
Theatre Center, 514 South Spring St. in downtown Los Angeles. There is
ample parking in the gated lot at 6th and Main, just behind the theatre.
Admission is free. A discussion will follow the reading. No reservations
necessary.
We hope to see you there.
