New Edgecliff Theatre is returning to the Cincinnati Fringe Festival after an eight year hiatus! And we’re back in a big way, with the US premiere of Darker, by playwright-in-residence Catie O’Keefe. In this absurd love story, Max finds himself the new kid at the Industri-Light Bulb Factory. But his surroundings are all too familiar… and he’s certain he has seen his boss somewhere before. Is he losing his mind, or is this the start of a very sick- and ultimately deadly- game? Max must uncover the truth, or accept a fate that will keep his life in a mind-numbing limbo.
Darker was originally produced by the First Draft theater company in London. Catie O’Keefe holds a BA in theatre from Lewis & Clark College in Portland, Oregon USA and a Masters in playwriting from Royal Holloway University of London. Her work has been performed at the Jerwood Centre, Southwark Theatre, Henley Fringe Festival, The Royal Cour
t Upstairs, Theatre 503 and the 2008 Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
The Cincinnati Fringe Festival, produced by Know Theatre of Cincinnati, continues its eighth season this year May 31 – June 11, 2011. The Festival is a collaborative organization striving to provide opportunities and exposure to artists who are willing to take a risk. Our artists push the boundaries of the “norm” and continually experiment with style and content. During the festival local, regional, national and international artists invade downtown Cincinnati for 12 days of artistic celebration in both traditional and non-traditional spaces. These artists represent a variety of media including theatre, dance, music, poetry, visual art, film and beyond.
Directed by: Illana Stein
