The Bloody Banquet

July 14 – August 22, 2015

I’d give one eye to see her with the other.

It’s the early seventeenth century. It’s 2 a.m. and you’re in your hotel room flipping channels … Historical Fantasy. Flip. Erotic Thriller. Flip. Pastoral Comedy. Flip. B-Movie Horror. Flip. … The channels change but the title stays the same: The Bloody Banquet. Unperformed professionally since 1642.

Extended from the 2015 Capital Fringe Festival, a program of the Washington, DC non-profit Capital Fringe.

For nearly four centuries, the theater world has been overlooking a crowd-pleaser, to judge by Brave Spirits Theatre’s diverting take on the revenge tragedy The Bloody Banquet.

Celia Wren, The Washington Post

I’m glad we have Brave Spirits Theatre to interpret and serve up this centuries-old cannibalistic romp for our oh-so-refined modern sensibilities.

Brett Steven Abelman, DC Theatre Scene
