Peggy Shaw to perform an excerpt from new show “RUFF”

RUFF is a musical tribute to the huge space opened in Peggy’s brain after surviving a stroke in January 2011 that allowed her more room to create new material. This new work is the next in a series of autobiographical solo work exploring issues of gender and age.  Throughout, Shaw throws off the stigma of age and embraces the opportunity to create new work at 68, blaming the stroke for her behavior, with humor, wit and insight.

Written by Peggy Shaw & Lois Weaver Performed by Peggy Shaw

PLUS, catch Susana Cook on the same night perform her latest work, The Funeral of the Cow:  A Post-Modern Drama about the Drama of the Post-Modern.  Susana Cook creates a melancholic satire about trans-species, a hypnotizing world of dramatic, melodramatic and post-dramatic narratives that will delve into the essence of humans, non-humans and the rest of us.

Written and Directed by Susana Cook
Sound design by Julian Mesri
Performed by Susana Cook, Mistah Coles, Moira Cutler, Jasmine Presson, and Felice Shays

Both shows on November 15, 2012, from 7:30pm – 9:30pm at Dixon Place !!!
