 Dear Friend,
Under the patronage of Tom Patchett, we are proud to announce the West Coast Premiere of Neil LaBute's Filthy Talk for Troubled Times. LaBute, known for his biting portrayals of misogynistic and deceitful men, subtitles the work "scenes of intolerance."
City Garage, working with LaBute, is presenting the play in the entirely new setting of an opening at a high-end art gallery. In this provocative conception, featuring the paintings of Cameron Jordan, the art objects on display are naked females, but the drunk male patrons remain just as conflicted, angry, and baffled as ever by the eternal mystery of women.
This special project is a collaboration with the Robert Berman Gallery, running in conjunction with its show featuring the work of photographer Gerald Slota and the prose of Neil LaBute, Home.Sweet.Home. The shows will run together.
Opening night is Friday, January 6, 2012 at 8:00pm. You can meet the cast (with their clothes on) after the show, as well as Charles and I, with finger foods and drinks. Tickets are available by phone reservation or online through our website: www.citygarage.org / 310-319-9939. We hope to see you there. Dress warmly!
Happy Holidays,
Frédérique Michel
Artistic Director
