Midnight
Brainwash Revival
A short comedy about the apocalypse |
A ranch is up for sale in Moab, Utah. The only good man in town
is lost in the Himalayas; an evil developer, Mordecon, threatens
to turn the city into a toxic waste dump; prophets roll like tumbleweeds
across the desert; desperate tourists search for the messiah;
and paranoid truckers hatch plots to blow up the town. Add to
this a healthy mix of schemes, doomsday devices, cross-dressing
romance, and the legendary antics of that desert scavenger, Coyote,
and you have a wild and fantastical exploration of life in America
during "The End-Times."
"Remarkably intelligent...complex...witty...Could be on a comparative
Shakespeare class syllabus." -Time Out New York
"A
brilliant barrage of wordplay and low comedy...exceptional."
-San Francisco Bay Guardian
"Bromley
is beyond reproach." - Show Business

The
Death of Don Flagrante Delicto
A Civil War Meditation on Morality and Power |
|
|
The
date is April 14, 1865, five days after the end of the Civil War
and the night of Lincoln's assassination. The place is a small
plantation west of Lynchburg in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia.
The master of the plantation is Don Flagrante Delicto, a megalomaniacal
slave owner who, with the help of his wife, children, three slaves,
and a cast of local folks, performs the plays he writes on a small
stage behind his barn.
Lately, however, due to the ravages of war, audiences have been
scarce and belligerent, so Don and his troupe have been forced
to lurk beside the nearby road, knock people on the head, and
tie them down for the performance.
For this eveningÍs production, the audience-captives consist of
a yankee nurse, a confederate soldier, and a free negro. The play
is entitled "Aethelbert and Augustine," a true historical tale
of the Christian conversion in 600 AD of Aethelbert, King of Anglo-Saxon
England, by Augustine, a Roman Catholic missionary. During the
show, Don Flagrante narrates the text, attempting to justify his
way of life to the audience and investigating the deeper issues
inherent in the concepts of freedom, union, and justice.
Part morality play, part nihilist rant, part slave revolt, The
Death of Don Flagrante Delicto is certain to anger, enthuse, and
entertain, as it ravages through the timeless conundra on which
America is founded.
"Blending
the Latinate, the vulgar, and the preposterous, Bromley playfully
conjures dialects, puns, conceits, and outlandish rhymes to hysterical
effect." - The Village Voice
"Overflowing smorgasbord of verbiage and imagination."
- Time Out

Want's
Unwisht Work
A college comedy
Bertha Lerner, professor of womenÍs studies, and her students,
Corme, Marla, Lydia, establish a house of feminist study, to the
exclusion of all men. Enter Dr. Kling, Ms. LernerÍs therapist,
and his student Erad, who get into the house on analytic exigency.
Enter Leavus, MarlaÍs man, who, crossdressing, falls in love with
Warren, LydiaÍs man, who, crossdressing, is chased by Vazoline,
who is Richard in drag.
After Marla and Lydia fall in love with each otherÍs boyfriend,
enter the girl-chasin rambling fanatics, Nichedigger, Dick, Laptop
and Rem, whose ploys of pizza-delivery and southern boy gumbo-dummy
sexual manners propel them into the house; enter the Wishful Waiters,
a roving troop of merry pranksters, who deliver a birthdaygram
(How the Blueberry Came To Be) to a dead Corme, who, in order
to seduce Erad from Kling, jumped off the roof.
Chase scenes in peach orchards, the speech of Pan, the downing
of Kling, party songs, the answer to why all children love cinnamon
toast, the re-awakening of a refresht Elisa, and many more wild,
poetic adventures fill this comedic epic. WantÍs Unwisht Work
or A Birthday Play is a new play in verse about the marvelous
work of self and play thru fact and fantasy.
"Kirk Wood Bromley writes with witty bite and bawdy flair
ƒa wonderful blend of wordsmithing and wackiness."
- LA Times, 1999
"A bona-fide modern classicƒ"
- LA Weekly, 1999
"This verse play speaks directly to its audience's concerns
and in its dialect."
- American Theater Magazine, 1996

 Life's
Losses Loved
A sequel to Shakespeare's Love's Labour's Lost
Equal parts poetic invention, theatric repetition, cultural synthesis,
metempsychotic transference, and simple sequel, Bromley's Life's
Loss's Loved picks up the action of Shakespeare's Love's Labour's
Lost six months (and 400 years) later in order to investigate
once again the timeless themes and motivations of the inhabitants
of Navarre.
This new play, however, is not only a continuation of its precedent's
plot; it is a strange hybrid of dramatic completion, "stufft with
images, sounds, nodes, links, series, smudges, metaphors, and
projections" of its prequel. Taking place in modern day Vermont,
each character (save one) has its ghost in the former work. The
action not only acknowledges the facts of the past, but it coordinates
itself with them in order to render "simulcast concoctions" of
the future. The result is a play existing then and now, words
speaking directly and evasively, characters moving forward and
backward in time.
This play by Bromley will undoubtedly stimulate investigation
into its arcane connections with Shakespeare's original piece;
but it will as undoubtedly give rise to even more autonomous theatric
and non-theatric questions - who are we, where do we come from,
how different have we become, and where are we going? For answers
we can now again look to Life, Love, Labor, and Loss and their
endless, alliterative, passionate play across cultures, times,
and stages.
"Bromley is the beloved Bard of Downtown theater."
- New York Magazine, 1998
"Stoppard squeal, and set your pen to squirm! Bromley would your
match be, term for term."
- The Village Voice, 1997

The
Death of Griffin Hunter
A global espionage thriller
In this new tragedy, Bromley explores the collision of allegiance,
power, love, and betrayal in the modern world. The scene is San
Francisco, and Griffin Hunter, newly appointed UN Undersecretary
for Disarmament, has arrived for a conference and the opening
night of a play starring his new wife. He quickly becomes entangled
in the machinations of international moguls, diplomats, and thugs,
an SF gang of college slacker-hackers, and a college buddy and
a lost love -- all who want to destroy his career, his marriage,
and his vision of a better world.
As usual, this play is full of unforgettable characters, stunning
scenes, and a musicality and passion that only profits from the
richness and density of Bromley's language.
