Catch Bedlam Faction's "The Brats of Clarence"; Only 4 Performances Left

The Faction is proudly presenting the Regional Premiere of Paul Menzer's raucous new comedy, featuring Bedlam veterans and newcomers. This bare-stage production at the new Salvage Vanguard space has been delighting audiences for two weeks and has been hailed as a 'comical romp' by the Austin Chronicle. 

With its rapping princes and robot dances, its kilts and kings, The Brats of Clarence is an entertaining marriage of Elizabethan drama and wacky, absurd humor. It's self-aware without being self-indulgent, and, most of all, it's fun.
--Austin Chronicle Review

Henry VII, a swaggering jerk with an heir problem has his crown challenged by three upstarts: the noble Edward, locked away long ago in the Tower; the curious Ned, a disgruntled shepherd with a mysterious past; and the fashionable Perkin, whisked away from his French beginnings and now improbably hatching a brogue takeover with the gritty graces of all Scotland.

As these three Brats race for the throne, it's the usual Bedlam fare: hilarity, cross dressing, pirate posturing, undiscovered discoveries, long-lost findings, academic disastrousment, and drunken carousing--and all of this, at the command of the King himself, in absolutely no blank verse!
