Red Emma & The Mad Monk
Emma Orme & The Tank present RED EMMA & THE MAD MONK Created by Katie Lindsay & Alexis Roblan Written by Alexis Roblan Directed by Katie Lindsay Music by Teresa Lotz
Presented as part of Ladyfest at The Tank.
In the first few months of 2017, 12 year-old Addison has a lot of questions about the world and very little parental supervision. Her best (imaginary) friend is a turn-of-the-19th-century Russian mystic, and her favorite pastime is fighting with deplorables on the internet. But when Addison starts to learn about another turn-of-the-century Russian -- the American immigrant and Anarchist, Emma Goldman -- she begins questioning the meaning of political action and just how far we should go to fight oppressive systems.
Mystics, anarchists, and snowflakes swirl in this new Russo-American cabaret-style musical about Emma Goldman, Rasputin, and a 12-year-old American girl whos obsessed with both of them and cant get off Twitter.
After a sold-out performance at Ars Nova's ANT Fest last June, we are excited to bring this ambitious new play to The Tank as part of Lady Fest 2018, featuring new work by some of the most exciting lady-identified artists in New York - in celebration of womanhood and the female voice, in all its glory.
