Sure, with Free Night of Theater on the horizon, it may be hard to justify shelling out for a ticket to a stage show, but trust us — with all the intriguing offerings that local companies have in store, you’ll want to see more than one show this month.
Previously at the Fringe Festival, Round House Silver Spring presents Bushwa: A Modern Ubu, about an intellectually-challenged king. Hmm. Wonder what it’s like to have your country led by someone less than scholarly? (Oct 6)
Rain: The Beatles Experience, a tribute show, is at Warner Theatre for one weekend (Oct. 6). But if you prefer your beatles to be beetles, check out The Insect Play at Scena (Oct. 14) instead.
There’s an awful lot of competition around here, but we still say nobody does Shakespeare like the Folger. DCist predicts good things for their production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream, which features Kate Eastwood Norris, the Georgie James of the DCist theater section (Oct. 19).
Sure, there’s no naked Harry Potter in Washington Shakespeare Company’s production of Equus, but the company is bound to have other tricks up its metaphorical sleeve. (Oct. 26)
Rorschach’s treat for us this Halloween is their latest trick: a unique take on the Frankenstein legend known as Monster (Oct. 31, natch).
