    A century ago, Paris was a sanctuary for artistic experimentation, innovation and creativity. The avant-garde -- the pushing of boundaries and challenging of the status quo -- was born at this time, in this place. This is the mood Plays & Players hopes to capture with the New Play Festival. Celebrate two brand new experimental one-act plays by local playwrights:

    Marilyn Monroe Has Sex for the Last Time with Groucho Marx by Greg Romero
    A daring - and at times disturbing - play about the intersection of sexuality and obscenity. It puts its audience members into the position of voyeur as they watch a woman and man role-playing as Marilyn Monroe and Groucho Marx engage in various acts of carnal lust.

    The Stormy Hanky by Joy Cutler
    Takes an absurdist look at the anarchy that emerges when one of the characters inadvertently "brings back the 4th primary color." As a result, artists riot, and all colors and shapes in the world no longer hold their original integrity.

    Please note these performances contain content of an adult nature and are not suitable for children.

    This event is part of the 2011 Philadelphia International Festival Of The Arts (PIFA).
