Isabella
by Pig Iron Theatre Company
Running Time: 85 minutes
part of Live Arts

City Paper Review:
Pig Iron will probably always lure us to unfamiliar locales and cheap folding chairs, a small price to pay for the trippy spectacle of mind-blowing shows like Isabella. Never mind its Shakespearean roots: the eerie, unsexy nakedness of pale bruised zombies conjured to lurching life by lonely mortician Charles Conwell makes women giggle and men pale. The bits of Measure for Measure that emerge may only confuse those who don't know the play, but this creepy yet compelling circus, designed with terrible beauty and macabre skill, has lasting impact. —Mark Cofta
