‘Hurlyburly' at KNOW Theatre
BINGHAMTON, N.Y. (WIVT/WBGH) – A show that explores the drug-fueled chaos of 1980s Hollywood culture is coming to KNOW Theatre this weekend.
Hurlyburly by David Rabe is opening at KNOW Theatre on Friday.
Drawing its name from Shakespeare's tumultuous tragedy Macbeth, Hurlyburly follows a group of lesser-known celebrities as they attempt to find meaning in their dishonest, futile lives.
The show focuses on themes of self-destruction, toxic masculinity, substance use, and the search for meaning in the mundane.
Vito Longo portrays Eddie, an insecure, morally corrupt Hollywood casting director.
Longo says going to see good theatre is like going to the gym for your empathy.
'It's going to be hard for audiences to sympathize with these guys because their behavior is so destructive, but ultimately I hope audiences leave with a perspective of a deeper understanding for people that may be abrasive in their everyday lives,' said Longo.
Hurlyburly opens Friday and will run for three weeks, ending on June 29.
Show times are at 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays and 3 p.m. on Sundays.
Tickets are $28 for general admission, $23 for seniors, and $15 for students.
There will also be a pay-what-you-can performance on Thursday, June 19.
