WORLD PREMIERE
Former members ofthe heavy metal band Broadsword reunite for a funeral. Richie,the band’s former guitarist, has recently been declared dead after having been missing for six months. Tensions mount with the arrival of Richie’s brother Tony, a would-be rock star, who abandoned the band for a brush with fame and fortune. A mysterious stranger arrives, spinning an outrageous story that just might hold the clue to Richie’s disappearance. Will friendships be tested? Will the band rock on? Will there be a head-banging twist? Find out in this devilishly entertaining new play with a wry sense of humor and ass-kicking rock-and-roll.
