A staged reading
As Writ by Mr. Adam Bertocci
Taking Inspiration from Mr. William Shakespeare and The Brothers Coen*
Directed by Adrienne Boris
ABOUT THE SHOW:
Join Exquisite Corps for a staged reading of Two Gentleman of Lebowski, to benefit our upcoming production of Limonade Tous les Jours, by Charles L. Mee, in April. Bursting onto the scene in early January of 2010, within just a few days Two Gentlemen of Lebowski had achieved internet meme status.
Geoffrey Lebowski is an unemployed slacker and avid player at ninepins, who refers to himself as “The Knave.” The Knave is introduced to a wealthy lord also named Geoffrey Lebowski after a case of mistaken identity. When the wealthy Lebowski’s trophy wife is later kidnapped, he commissions the Knave and friends to deliver the ransom to secure her release. Hilarity ensues when the Knave’s friend, Sir Walter of Poland, schemes to keep the full ransom sum.
Marry, sir, my heartstrings do you tug;
They urinate upon thy damnéd rug.
