Saintmakers blends and balances absurdism and naturalism, tragedy and comedy, family and passion. This full-length play follows the story of Danny Bethany, a young historian infected, tragically, with Mad Cow Disease. While he only has weeks to live, he is bed-bound and plagued by hallucinations of the subjects of his academic study: the French Revolutionary dictators Robespierre and Marat. Impossibly, these specters, represented onstage by two actors (one confined comedically to the bathtub he was murdered in!) only seen by Danny, beg him to write a petition of canonization to the pope: they desire to be Catholic saints.
Run time: 130 minutes including 10 minute intermission.
Mature audiences only (18+). Infants not admitted. All patrons require a ticket regardless of age.
