BAM PRESENTS DIARY OF A MADMAN

Don't miss this play! The story chronicles a clerk's descent into madness in 19th century Russia. Because he's a nobody who fancies his wealthy boss's daughter, his fantasies get grander and grander until he's convinced he's the king of Spain and the daughter's poodle is conspiring against him. Hilarious, trippy and beautifully written. It's a 1 man show so I assume the lead is a powerhouse or they wouldn't mount a production of this. If you aren't a big fan of old theater, this is an excellent intro.
