The Elaborate Entrance of Chad Deity
A Boston Premiere by Kristoffer Diaz
Directed by Shawn LaCount
Dramaturgy by Ilana M. Brownstein and Jessie Baxter
July 28 – August 25, 2012
Roberts Theatre @ Calderwood Pavilion
Having just won the Obie for Best New American Play, this Pulitzer finalist is as hilarious as it is relevant. Mace is a professional wrestler. He’s a really good professional wrestler. He’s not the champion though — that’s the impossibly charismatic Chad Deity. When Mace discovers a young Indian-American Brooklyn kid whose charisma rivals that of the champ, Mace decides to get him a job in the company. Only problem is, the boss has a very specific plan for the duo! A serious minded comedy about wrestling, geopolitics, and raisin bread.
This dynamite show is like Tarantino tackling the WWF.
