Bedlam Theatre came back to us from Minneapolis after their performance in last year's production of King Lear with Dali's Liquid Ladies, an original play written by Savannah Reich and directed by Samantha Johns, with original music by Hot Tony Biele, and starring Jon Mac Cole, Mark Rehani, Kait Sergenian, Savannah Reich and Katie Melby.
The year: 1939. The place: The World's Fair, specifically the exhibition designed by surrealist artist Salvador Dali, a man who fascinated the world by spending his life exposing his own weirdness. Dali refused to hide his deviant fascinations, his ambiguous sexuality, or any of the confusing sloppy bits that are a part of every human being. Bedlam Theatre re-imagined a surrealist funhouse and its topless mermaid occupants exploited by Salvidor Dali's megalomaniacal vision. Throwing a closeted Nazi tourist into the fray, Dali's Liquid Ladies took us on a tour through a bevy of naked nightmares where even the most shameful of desires come true and the sweetest of mermaids might be driven to commit murder.
