I never should have fallen for that dame... I never should have robbed that safe... And I never should have killed my boss... A ROCK N ROLL NOIR. The minds behind the infamous Masterworks of Edward D. Wood, Jr. series present QUICKSAND, based on the cult classic thriller directed by Irving Pichel, in which a young man in over his head tries to impress the femme fatale of his dreams with a little petty larceny, only to find himself caught up in a web of deceit, intrigue, and bald faced thievery. In a seaport town reminiscent of both New Orleans and Atlantic City, troubled Dan Brady gets himself trapped in a circle of crooks, scumbags, and out and out whackos, only to be redeemed by the true love of an honest woman and the help of an understanding stranger. Plagued by an unscrupulous boss, a sleazy arcade/casino owner, and his own talent for trouble, Dan must get out of this mess one way or another without getting himself killed in the process... Director Frank Cwiklik returns to his rough and tumble roots with another pop theater extravaganza, a show loud in volume, raucous in nature, and great fun to boot, hock full of luscious babes, threatening thugs, sex, violence, and rock n roll, and no shortage of comic action and dark comedy. Quicksand was the first show produced by DMT in the Horse Trade Theater spaces, and the beginning of Danse Macabre's residency with this distinguished organization. It also featured special guest appearances by downtown NYC theater legends Art Wallace (as the despicable Mackay) and Trav S.D. (as The Lawyer). DANSE MACABRE THEATRICS PRESENTS QUICKSAND starring
