The Big Funk

The Big Funk, an absurd comedy written by Pulitzer Prize winning author John Patrick Shanley, opens with an argument over who - of the 4 characters- is the hero of the story. There's Fifi and Omar, a married couple, who perform in the circus and are due with twins the next day; their friend Austin, an out of work actor who wears a drip-dry suit in order to give a woman he's just met a nice bath; and Jill, a campaign manager, in between campaigns, looking for love but ends up with grease. How do these… Show more people function in a society filled with cynicism? Who is the hero? What is the Big Funk?
Incorporated into each performance will be the some of Greater Boston's hottest funk/pop/rock bands, which will play their original music, as well as some covers, in service of each performance. There will be a different band every weekend, including a full bar AND one of Davis Square's hottest restaurant's, The Saloon, located in the same building.
