BREAST IN SHOW – 5 Stars at Capital Fringe

BREAST IN SHOW the musical gets a 5***** Review

(Best of the Capital Fringe)*****

At last. A show that has taken the Capital Fringe Festival 2014 theme to heart: Move Me.

Breast in Show – the musical, conceived and produced by Eileen Mitchard, is arguably the best titled and best marketed show in this season’s lineup. (Collecting Fringe buttons? Patrons get their own pink Breast in Show button to proudly pin to their chests.) It’s also likely the most aptly named, as it shall prove prophetic when it comes time to clinch the Best of Fringe.

FAUNA and BLOOD, two short plays by Yasmine Rana, now published in Kenyon Review

In 2013 the playwright Yasmine Rana was invited to submit a short play for a ten-minute festival in New York. She responded with a piece that was, in part, a dramatic response to the art installation by Imran Qureshi at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Roof Garden Commission. We were seized with admiration for “Fauna and Blood” and accepted it for publication in KROnline. Ms. Rana then offered a companion piece, also of great power. We are delighted to present both short plays here, along with photos of Imran Qureshi’s The Roof Garden Commission, which inspired them.
