Rob comes to us via the Dirt [contained] Theatre Company who are presenting the New York premiere of EASY LAUGHTER, the Sunday Times Award-winning play written by Robert Shearman, a Shirley Jackson and World Fantasy award winning author and Hugo-nominated writer for the hit BBC series Doctor Who. The controversial satire, directed by Stephen Massaro, will open on April 30 at the Alchemical Theatre Laboratory on 104 West 14th Street in Manhattan and run through May 10. Dirt [contained] co-founders Tana Sirois and Maria Swisher said EASY LAUGHTER was perhaps “more relevant today than when it was written: boldly confront ing xenophobia, extremism, state surveillance and government control.” Tickets are available at: easylaughter.brownpapertickets.com and for more information visit: dirtcontained.com.
