"Hilarious, maniacal, menacing, sizzling... raucous fight sequences... Audience members expecting an all–out campy catfight may come away surprised, satisfied and unsettlingly enlightened... PERFECT LATE-NIGHT ENTERTAINMENT." -- Elias Stimac, Off Off Broadway Review "BEWARE. THE FUGITIVE GIRLS CONTAINS PRETTY MUCH ALL THE THINGS MOTHER WARNED YOU TO AVOID... All the females are hotter than hell... In your face and very real... I AM READY TO GET A SEX CHANGE AND KILL SOMEONE JUST SO THAT I CAN HANG OUT WITH THESE PEOPLE... SEE IT. YOU HAVE NOTHING TO LOSE BUT YOUR SANITY." -- Carlo Fiorella, Stage Press Weekly "Can a play with a script by Ed Wood be great art? Counterintuitive as it might sound, in the hands of the remarkable young director Frank Cwiklik, it's just possible... Riotous, relentless, full of surprises... so damn hilarious and compelling... the wizardry up Cwiklik's sleeve boggles... THE MOST FUN YOU CAN HAVE AT THE THEATER FOR THE MONEY... THESE PEOPLE MAY WELL BECOME FAMOUS ONE DAY." -- Martin Denton, NYTheatre.com BY OVERWHELMING DEMAND!
The runaway smash hit of the 2000 Nada EdFest returns to the New York
stage! Ed
Wood’s obscure sexploitation cult favorite The Fugitive Girls! presents four
deadly women and their desperate bid for freedom, as they rape, pillage, and
plunder their way through late-60’s America, leaving a trail of death,
destruction, and horror in their wake. Sex,
violence, pop culture, and shocking ugliness await you in this gruesome,
shocking, brutally entertaining bad girl action comedy. Dee Wood, a naive young waitress, is sentenced to a minimum security women's prison after being framed by her boyfriend for a botched liquor store holdup. In prison, she is seduced by Cat, tough as nails leader of the meanest girl gang on the cell block -- including Paula, a hard-drinking, bar-brawling lesbian; and Toni, a sultry, maneating Southern belle. Toni has a stash of green hidden in an abandoned factory over the state line, and Cat and Paula aim to break out of prison along with her to claim it. Like it or not, Dee is along for the ride as the girls tear a violent, bloody path through the American South, beating the hell out of hippies, swinging bachelors, gas station attendants, and Hell's Angels... only to discover that power can lead to madness, and freedom comes with gruesome consequences. This runaway smash played once again to packed houses, gathering a new legion of fans, and will return -- AGAIN -- when you least expect it...! WARNING: THIS SHOW IS PLAYED AT MAXIMUM VOLUME.
