Horse Trade kicks off its 10th Season with Disgraced Productions as we flash back to the 1980s and the heyday of heavy metal for ...and we all wore leather pants, a magical realism dark comedy set in America's rust belt. Martin Denton of nytheatre.com has said Attenweiler’s work, “confirms my suspicion that he's one of the most talented poets writing for the theatre right now."
It’s Buried Child meets Def Leppard. It’s 100 Years of Solitude written by Twisted Sister. The ground literally moves beneath the feet of the Sturgess family with the arrival of a strange visitor, some heavy metal-tinged magic in the air and the revelation that one of them may be part of the world’s most notorious rock band. Disgraced Productions brings to the stage all the fun, attitude and absurdity of 80s heavy metal mixed with a working class family trying to keep all that they have, each other, from slipping away. |
