LADY

Lady lives a simple life. She eats refined sugar, walks her lonely halls, and kills young girls. But her lifestyle is crumbling now that the public has uncovered what’s really going on inside her castle walls. Loosely based on the end days of Countess Elizabeth Bathory, who allegedly killed over 600 young girls making her the worst serial killer in recorded history, LADY examines the lengths we’ll go to for beauty and power.

The cast will feature Sasha Diamond*(The Wong Kids and the Secret of the Space Chupacabra Go! with Ma-Yi Theatre Company), Eli Gelb* (The Thickness of Skin at The Barrow Group), and Lola Kelly (Saint Mel at the Hollywood Fringe Festival) with Lighting Design by Oona Curley (2015 Princess Grace Award nominee), Set Design by Kimie Nishikawa (Before You Get Too Far Afield at JACK), Sound Design by Kevin Novinsky (The Witches with New Collectives), Costume Design by Spencer Olson, and Art Direction by Hayes Thornton. *Actor appears courtesy of the Actors’ Equity Association
