Note:
There's an additional performance on Wednesday, September 24, at 8pm.
A divisive female figure appears on the American political scene, promising to push the nation toward her own right-wing agenda — sound familiar? In Anger/Nation, the anarchists of Brooklyn's Radiohole theatre company present the memoirs of Carrie A. Nation, a fiery prohibitionist who chopped beer bottles with an axe and thought most problems could be solved with a swift blow from her weapon. The show, inspired by the aesthetic of cult filmmaker Kenneth Anger, is willfully extreme and bizarre, and rips apart the repression/hedonism duality at the core of American society. Free beer for the audience makes the weirdness go down a little more smoothly.
