Cryptic Comedy "I'm Gonna Kill the President!" to Play Somewhere in NYC, 8/17-9/4
Playbill ^ | 7/20/04 | Ernio Hernandez

Posted on 07/21/2004 2:06:41 PM PDT by MikalM

Assassins may have closed on Broadway, but another show is taking aim at the leader of the free world in the new guerilla comedy "I'm Gonna Kill the President!" A Federal Offense.

Performances begin at 10 PM at an undisclosed Manhattan location, running Aug. 17-Sept. 4 — including the dates of the Republican National Convention.

A press release for the work penned by "Hieronymous BANG" reads like an classified government document with key words crossed out with a black marker. The material reads ""I'm Gonna Kill the President!" A Federal Offense blends Dario Fo, Abbie Hoffman and the Muppets ======= the story of a confused student's revolutionary awakening and ====== submarines ====== return of the buffalo."

The secretive staging also employs detailed instructions to conspiring audience members: "To see the show, go to Manhattan and proceed to the middle of 10th Street, between Avenue A and Avenue B. Our agents will contact you there. You must arrive at least 30 minutes before showtime." The show offers the show's reservation line, with the further warning, "Latecomers will not be shown to the theatre. And make sure you're not followed." The recording also sends a message to the feds: "If you're some kind of law enforcement agent or official, hang up now, there's nothing illegal happening here."

Tickets — "available to Republican delegates (with ID) for free" — are priced at $15. For reservations, call (212) 802-7446.

Yet another trustafarian performance artist, desperately seeking the attention his daddy never gave him.

I got a dollar that the script shockingly includes the word "f#ck!" multiple times and even calls the president a "nazi"!

Oooooohhh... controversial.

Here's an ultimate FREEP opportunity-- show up, say you're the people with the play, and lead the 'audience' on a wild goose chase....to FoxNews studio, perhaps? Or provide bogus information of the wrong theater, wrong time, pass out coupons for 'free admission,' etc., etc., etc. Hours of fun!

Calls for a "cryptic indictment," IMO.....

The probable defense is "it's metaphorical (satire, a joke, etc.), you backward rube."

Ok with me.

I hereby invite all Freepers and fellow-travelers to Dallas to attend the premier of my new avant-garde guerrilla-theatre work, "I'm Gonna Hang Noam Chomsky with Michael Moore's Guts, Set Them Both on Fire, and Suspend Their Smoking Carcasses From the Trinity Bridge."*

Directions will be encrypted in your next Zionist Conspiracy check stub.

Admission is 10 Iraqi dinars.

*the tediously long-winded title is a nice retro-60s touch, no?

I'm starting to look at and price high-quality bolt-action rifles, in case the lefties decide to reach for the cartridge box after they get b!tch-slapped at the ballot box.

Get dark blue windbreakers with "DHS" in gold letters on the back, covered by a Velcro'd flap. Be in position, in two-man teams, with your decoy collecting the chumps.

When there's enough chumps in one place, everybody uncovers each other "DHS" markings, and the decoy shouts, "Oh, s**t! It's the Feds! RUN! RUN!"

Trustafarian = trendily left-wing spoiled offspring of rich parents, living off of a trust fund.

"A press release for the work penned by 'Hieronymous BANG'"

Sounds more like "Hieronymous BONG."

Trustafarians, aka Mumia-cong, Che-babies, Morlocks, Indy-Huns, and PIBs ("persons in black").

This is very disturbing - does anyone else feel like we are getting beyond polarization in this country and that violence is simmering just under the surface towards a revolution of some sort? OK, maybe I just put on a tin foil hat this morning...
