Summary:

Big Dance Theater directors Annie-B Parson and Paul Lazar sample fragments of iconic film scripts and novels, divorced from their narrative contexts, to create a kinetic collage of political rhetoric, pathos, paranoia, and suburbia. Lawn chairs, telephones, fur coats, and pistols mingle on a stage with Astronauts, Bolsheviks, and American nuclear families as revolutionary Moscow collides with late-20th-century Houston. Alan Smithee Directed This Play: Triple Feature contemplates the slippery nature of creative control, history, its fictions, and the inextricable link between the personal and the historical.
