The Iguana Becomes Marco | April 1-5

ABOUT

La MaMa Experimental Theatre Club presents the world-premiere of “The Iguana Becomes Marco” by Booth McGowan, a Lisa Long Adler and Booth McGowan production.

This new play charts the mental and physical descent of recent college graduate Marco (Marco Quesada) after an encounter with an Iguana (Luke Wisniewski) on a friends-trip to his Uncle Bill and Auntie Annie’s house in Tallahassee, Florida.

Will the dour detective (Bobby Cole) crack the elusive case of the Iguana, or will his feckless administrative-assistant Maximilian (Booth McGowan) ruin the whole shebang? Only a ticket will tell… (descriptors courtesy of Eli Harrell, tentoday.net)

At once a thrilling horror-comedy, and a reflection on gender, addiction, sexuality, violence, and youth, “The Iguana Becomes Marco” will take you for a ride through the pores of your salience circuit and into a brand new side of human perception.
