What She Knew

Original blogging gangsta George Hunka's play What She Knew has only four performances left. It runs tonight through Saturday, starting at 8pm. Definitely check it out.

From the press release:

Drawing on the Sophoclean and Senecan versions of the Oedipus story, George Hunka's What She Knew is a contemporary meditation on the role Jocasta plays in the tragedy: a woman whose willful participation in Oedipus' guilt reveals an extraordinary capacity for erotic and sexual transgression as a means to freedom, as an avenue to outwit time, place and her own desiring and desirous body. She strides through centuries, balancing between the ecstasy of loss in another's body and the agony of moral criminality.

Tickets here.
