EXPERIENCE A WORLD PREMIERE
A new play by Deborah Brevoort
WINNER OF THE TRUSTUS PLAYWRIGHTS' FESTIVAL
Become a part of theatre history when you see The Velvet Weapon – a world premiere by nationally celebrated playwright Deborah Brevoort. At the National Theatre of an unnamed country, in an unnamed city, a matinee audience rises up in protest over what is being performed on stage, and demands something new. They begin a performance of their own of “The Velvet Weapon,” a play by an unproduced playwright of questionable talent. Inspired by the Velvet Revolution in the former Czechoslovakia, The Velvet Weapon is a humorous exploration of populist democracy told through a battle between high-brow and low-brow art.
