FLASH THEATRE LA: Go Thy Way With Joy
A Site-specific flash mob event
Written by Gene Franklin Smith
Directed by Nathan Singh
Presented by Playwrights' Arena for a one-time spontaneous performance at the Wilshire/Vermont Metro train station plaza in March 2012.
This was presented with twenty other flash theatre events around Los Angeles throughout 2012.
What happens when three people from royalty, from three different cultures, are brought together by Death? One Roman, one Persian, and one Sumerian. In the style of a classical Greek tragedy, grief brings together three communities to show human and universal similarities between them; as a blessing is bestowed onto all who participat and observe. Performed in a bustling Metro station plaza to those who are coming and going, leaving and returning, here and gone.
