Incorruptible: a Comic Farce about the Dark Ages
Directed by Brown graduate, Benny Sato Ambush '73!
Priseaux, France, 1250 AD. A motley order of destitute monks! A patron saint who ceased producing miracles years ago, driving away pilgrimming peasants and their pennies! Dark Ages hardships! Hope lies in a life-saving visit from the Pope. But he's a no-show!!! Disaster! With starvation staring them in the face, a larcenous one-eyed minstrel shows the desperate monks an outrageous new way to get out of bankruptcy: selling "saintly body parts of the dead. Incorruptible is a lightening-fast farce rich in verbal and physical humor that explores faith, fortune and ponders age-old ethical dillemmas still surounding us in today's news: do the ends justify the means?
Join us for laughs at this play written by Michael Hollinger and directed by Benny Sato Ambush '73.
