Joe Pintauro's RAFT OF THE MEDUSA will kick off "STRIPP3D," with previews starting October 5 prior to a press opening October 8 and running through October 22.
First presented in 1991 to considerable acclaim, RAFT OF THE MEDUSA has been revised by Mr. Pintauro for this production. Drawing on the Theodore Gericault 19th century painting of people clinging to a raft following a shipwreck, Pintauro's play takes place 10 years into the AIDS epidemic, centering on a weekly gathering of people living with AIDS.
"It is the finest AIDS drama I have seen." - ALISTAIR MACAULAY, THE TIMES, LONDON
"RAFT OF THE MEDUSA is a microcosmic crisis clinic, airing aspects of a tradgedy and entreating the audience into acts of empathy." MEL GUSSOW, NEW YORK TIMES.
"RAFT OF THE MEDUSA is a microcosmic crisis clinic, airing aspects of a tradgedy and entreating the audience into acts of empathy." MEL GUSSOW, NEW YORK TIMES.
"Pintauro's dialogue is propulsive, humorous and blistering.... gives only the appearance of being raw. On the inside, it's tuned like a clock." LOS ANGELES TIMES.
"Raft" grabs, holds and harrows. Unquestionably hits home and hits hard. Emphatically worth seeing." CLIVE BARNES, NEW YORK POST.
