Mike Iveson, with his demonic arrangements of the indigenous music of their native New Jersey, joins Kempson in her creation: a rapturous and obsessive melodrama of consciousness.
Together they distill this 11-person play into a desperate and harried duet (Kempson performs 10 out of 11 characters; Iveson performs the 11th and also underscores the entire evening with barely recognizable piano arrangements of early Bruce Springsteen songs.)
Part cabaret fiasco, part aesthetic holocaust, their dual dueling performances pit them in a life-or-death struggle for the right to devour the soul of the play.

***BONUS EDITION #2
Holiday Show “Lost Acts of Crime or Emergency”: ONE NIGHT ONLY
Tue, Dec 15 (offsite at Mehanata Bulgaria Bar on Ludlow)
Ms. Kempson & Mr. Iveson take past performers involved in the evolution and development of “Crime or Emergency” and hold them hostage, forcing them to relive their parts in a weird and festive Stockholm Syndrome-inspired atmosphere surrounded by the infamous debauchery of the PS122 Annual Red & White Party, downtown’s definitive holiday bash.
Star Hostages include: Kate Benson, Kourtney Rutherford, Jason Schuler, Andrew Dinwiddie, Eben Moore, Eleanor Hutchins, Susie Sokol, Jim Fletcher, Johanna S. Meyer, and more.
