Fool’s Progress and Dramahound Productions are pleased to
announce the world premiere of a one-act play by Anne Phelan, Hades.
It will be read on Saturday, February 13 at 4:40 and 6 PM at 440 Gallery,
440 Sixth Avenue, Park Slope, Brooklyn. Admission is free.
The play was commissioned by Fool’s Progress Productions,
and is inspired by Tom Bovo’s Merge photographs
in the back space at 440 Gallery. It
features Patrick Avella and Jacob Grigolia-Rosenbaum as Dante and Virgil.
Dante has been driven from his home in Florence, Mass. Disillusioned, homeless and broke, he meets
Virgil on the streets of Brooklyn. Virgil then proceeds to guide Dante through
three circles of Hell in Park Slope and Gowanus where they encounter a
murdering wife, a notorious Welsh traitor from King Arthur’s time and finally
Marcus Junius Brutus the Younger, the murderer of Julius Caesar. By the end of the play, Dante has begun to
rebuild his spirit, and he and Virgil go off to further adventures.
Dramahound Productions is happy to be back at 440 Gallery,
for its fourth world premiere in conjunction with Fool’s Progress Productions. Previous plays include The Mermaid Won’t Sing for Tom Bovo’s The Other Side of Summer, The
Skull Beneath the Skin for Tom Bovo’s
Genius Loci and Ellen Chuse’s Everyone
in the Pool; and Did You Hear the One About the Carp Who Hailed a Taxi? for Tom Bovo’s New York.
