DEADLY VIRTUES
DEADLY VIRTUES
Premiered January 1993 at the Actors Theatre of Louisville's Humana Festival of New American Plays, Louisville, Kentucky.
Conceived, written and directed by Brian Jucha
in collaboration with
Ensemble: Regina Byrd-Smith, Tamar Kotoske, Barney O'Hanlon, Steven Skybell, Andy Weems
Deadly Virtues is a high energy exploration of virtue and sin which calls into question what would seem the obvious delineation between the two. Text from the worlds of modern-day sinners informs the medieval concepts of good and evil, and Jucha's sculptural choreography manifests these ideas.
