Cleveland Public Theatre presents: Pulp By Patricia Kane Music by Amy Warren and Andre Pluess, Lyrics by Patricia
Kane Directed by Scott Plate Onstage now through December 22 The
critics are raving: “Enormously
entertaining and laugh-out-loud funny with a sobering message tucked between
innuendo and ribald double entendres. Director Scott Plate skyrockets the
fast-paced, 95-minute parody to cosmic heights with a quintet of sharp-shooting
actors. Levity abounds in this sparkling comedy, regardless of one’s
sexual proclivities.” – Fran Heller, “An affectionate parodistic
flashback…What is charming about the evening is not only its loving
kidding of a gentler time, but its sweet, nonmilitant proclamation of a thoroughly
innocent, if fanciful, lifestyle…You just yearn to ask the circulating
waitress for "Another round of that, please." – James Damico, Free Times “A sensational production by
Cleveland Public Theatre. Under the pitch-perfect direction of Scott Plate,
the performers channel old movie stars and other camp sources to craft their
characters…this Pulp has
the juice: hilarious in many places, with everyone happily paired up at the
end.” -- Christine Howey, CPT presents Pulp,
a noir musical comedy takeoff of the lesbian pulp fiction of the 1930’s
through 50’s. Join the girls at “The Well,” a lesbian
bar that features nightly cabaret jazz and drag kings. Set in the post WWII era
of female malaise and ablaze with the punchy style of the pulp fiction genre, Pulp is a stylish, fast-paced 90 minute
ride. Love Barbara Stanwyck, Strangers on a Train, Lana
Turner and Dashiell Hammett?
Then get wrapped up in this comic homage full of intellect and passion.
It's sexy, sassy, clever and totally over the top! Regional Premiere Pulp received rave
