A knock at the door followed by an accusation of an undisclosed crime forces Betty Bam to engage in a dangerous game of cat-and-mouse with her would-be pursuers. Charming Betty will take on many roles in a no-holds-barred attempt to escape her fate. Daughter. Wife. Temptress. Actress. Cold blooded killer. But which is the real Betty Bam? Who killed Pyotr Nikolayevich? And isn’t that him standing right over there?


Follow the beguiling Betty through her many incarnations as she attempts to make meaning in a landscape of rapidly shifting genres and ever-present threat when the imaginary beasts return this spring with a play that defies classification and expectation. Betty Bam, Part Two of their lauded Daniil Kharms’ Project, is an original adaptation based on Kharms’ Elizaveta Bam.


Following their exploration of Kharms’ micro-prose with last Fall’s critically acclaimed KNOCK!, the beasts push ever further into the psyche of one of Stalinist Russia’s lost voices with BETTY BAM!. Broken up into nineteen “bits”, Betty Bam is an experiment that challenges what theatre is and can be. Reflecting Kharms’ writing experiment, the beasts have put this project into the hands of not one but three directors who will each bring their unique flavor to the project. Artistic Director Matthew Woods helms the production, joined by long-time collaborators Joey C. Pelletier and Michael Underhill. Working from an original translation by Zoya Derman, the ensemble will present a never-before-seen adaptation of the piece. Talkbacks will follow performances on Sunday, April 12 and Friday, May 1 to enlighten the audience to the beasts’ process and the piece.


WHEN: April 10 – May 2, 2015


Thursdays at 7:30 pm*, Fridays at 8:00 pm, Saturdays at 4:00 pm* and 8:00 pm, Sundays at 2:00 pm
