Medicine Show Theatre presents The Bedbug, a biting romp through the Soviet bourgeoisie complete with philistines, party fat cats and profiteers. Visiting artist Elizabeth Ruelas, Artistic Director of New Renaissance Theatre Company, directs this reading as part of Medicine Show’s acclaimed Season of Russia, December 18th and 19th. Vladimir Mayakovsky's 1928 play, vicious in its mockery of early Communist society, tells the story of Ivan Prisypkin, a former worker who wants to marry into the bourgeoisie and live a life of decadence.  But a tragic accident at his wedding leaves him frozen in a block of ice. We find ourselves 50 years in the future where passion, vices, and even love are ancient history. A defrosted Prisypkin becomes a sideshow attraction for having all three. . . . #theatre #nyc #nyctheatre #experimentaltheatre #medicineshow #medicineshowtheatre #thebedbug #russian #russiantheatre #soviet #sovietliterature #vladimirmayakovsky #bolshevik #bolshevikrevolution #bolshevikrevolution100 #bolshevikrevolution1917 #newrenaissancetheatrecompany #elizabethruelas
