Major Bang

Andy Horwitz

January is going to be action-packed! We’ve got the Under The Radar festival of international work exploding all over the city and COIL, P.S.122’s winter dance festival featuring Australia’s white-hot dance company BalletLab, not to mention Les Freres Corbusier’s all-robot Hedda Gabler!

And to top it off The Foundry is presenting Major Bang at St. Ann’s Warehouse! Written by Kirk Lynn of Austin, TX’s Rude Mechanicals Theater company, directed by Big Dance Theater‘s Paul Lazar and featuring Steve Cuiffo and the ever-compelling Maggie Hoffman from Radiohole (see our interview with Radiohole from May), it has all the makings of a great show.

Also, go check out the show’s snazzy new website. There’s video footage of the show from this summer, there’s a “preparedness quiz” and lots of other neat gizmos!

    Terrific fun insightful play. Two performers both excellent, brilliant actually, embellishing their performances with gusto and inspiration. Loved the son. And the costume changes.

    Wish I could repeat the few lines especially about his father not understanding the technical aspects of what he was doing with his project in his room.

    Special effects were inventive, unique, basic.

    Food irradiation facts good to expose to the public.
    Maybe should have had a handout to further enforce the numbers and facts so they could be recalled and used for
    political and scientific enlightenment once us theatre goers
    left the venue/warehouse.

    Definitely go see this show before it departs its run in February, though it very well likely will make it to Manhattan thereafter, and deservedly so.
