“a disturbing high tea, with evil animal spirits and a hot lady who gets possessed by a monkey.”

Some terrific press for The Gallerist. Stay tuned for more press as it comes in!
And get your tickets before it’s too late!

“Gael has impressively woven together The Gallerist’s far-fetched premise, along with multiple intersecting timelines, to create an unconventional and suspenseful tale. Director Catherine Tripp’s production is further heightened by an impeccably cast ensemble of performers.”

“If Gothic thrillers, The Picture of Dorian Gray and movies like “Rebecca” send you swooning, alight from the Victorian fainting couch and get on over to the Atlas Performing Arts Center for this world premiere production under the imaginative direction of Catherine Tripp. It’s freaky good fun.”
–DC Theatre Scene (CLICK HERE for the complete article)

“A fusion of gothic horror, Freudian intrigue and lesbian romance, Fengar Gael’s drama, in a world premiere by Rorschach Theatre, is tantalizingly oddball.”
— Washington Post (CLICK HERE for the complete article)

“What you see will most certainly be a surprise…you can trust Rorschach to give you a night of something new, and you can trust that they will do it like pros.”

Rorschach Theatre Partners with Politics & Prose at Atlas Performance Arts Center, 1333 H Street NE

Rorschach Theatre, one of DC’s most inventive young theatre companies will host an exclusive performance of there current production of Haruki Murakami’s After the Quake, adapted by Frank Galati, in celebration of release of Murakami’s latest novel 1Q84 (Knopf, $30.50).

Join us on Monday night for a very special event hosted in partnership with Politics & Prose Bookstore.  See After the Quake and then be among the first to purchase 1Q84 when the play ends.

About After the Quake: In the aftermath of a terrible earthquake, a writer fueled by heartbreak heals a broken little girl, while a menacing frog saves Tokyo from an enormous worm. Adapted from the short stories of Haruki Murakami, Frank Galati’s play “enchants us like a dream and kicks us like a nightmare.”  - Washington City Paper

About 1Q84:  The year is 1984 and the city is Tokyo. A young woman named Aomame follows a taxi driver’s enigmatic suggestion and begins to notice puzzling discrepancies in the world around her. She has entered, she realizes, a parallel existence, which she calls 1Q84 —“Q is for ‘question mark.’ A world that bears a question.” Meanwhile, an aspiring writer named Tengo takes on a suspect ghostwriting project. He becomes so wrapped up with the work and its unusual author that, soon, his previously placid life begins to come unraveled.

“Murakami is like a magician who explains what he’s doing as he performs the trick and still makes you believe he has supernatural powers . . . But while anyone can tell a story that resembles a dream, it’s the rare artist, like this one, who can make us feel that we are dreaming it ourselves.” - The New York Times Book Review
