BASTARD
by Tyson Schroeder
BASTARD explores the challenges, sacrifices, and inevitable consequences of the choices made by an artist and his family. Struggles both external and existential define this impactful and fascinating semi-autobiographical new work by writer, musician, and illustrator Tyson Schroeder.
BASTARD premiered Oct 11 - 29, 2017 as part of The Living Room's 8th season.
"The playwright has a gift for dialogue that fits the words together and convinces the audience that the characters are real.
The director has the rare ability to make the audience care about these damaged souls in a minimal, yet sufficient evocative setting...
It is very dark, rough tongued, and upsetting. Bastard is also engaging, well-acted, and thought provoking."
