7 (X1) SAMURAI On Aug. 17

CFF_7x1 Samurai7 (X1) SAMURAI
Presented by Cincinnati Fringe Festival
Aug. 17
Over-the-Rhine

Kurosawa’s epic tale of victimized peasants, marauding bandits, and samurai warriors – retold at comic breakneck pace, through movement, by one exhausted and ridiculous actor. This piece is performed in an original energetic style with accompanying gibberish and vocal sound effects. What will surprise you: This unusual style of theatre is like Kill Bill meets The Magnificent Seven in a Bugs Bunny cartoon. It is original, different, riveting to watch, and very funny.

“Best Solo Performance” in DC Fringe! “Best Solo Show and Best of the Fest” in Orlando Fringe! “Critics Pick” and “Acclaim Award” in Cincinnati Fringe! Sold out shows from Vancouver to Tel Aviv.

Know Theatre is excited to welcome back David Gaines in his solo show from Cincy Fringe ’09!
