BLOOD, BODIES and RACISM in the HEART of HOLLYWOOD!

It’s blood, bodies and racism in the heart of Hollywood Tuesday evenings for the month of September, delivered in a sweaty black box theater setting, the way urban theater should be experienced. Family values be damned ta’ hell! The Boondock Sisters is a violent, fast paced stage romp that takes audiences from the green hills of Ireland, where a phone call sets the stage for the blood-letting rampage of two lasses, to the back alleys of Boston’s North End, in a shoot first, ask questions later story that includes hitmen, priests, police the FBI and one scary badass female assasin.

Bodies begin piling up as Niela and Cassidy embark on a quest to rid the city of two legged pests while Italian king pin Joseppi Yakavetta (Papa Joe) battles russian crime lords for turf and Boston’s finest launch an investigation under the tutleage of a smug, affected FBI Investigator.

The girls, both one step ahead of the police and one step ahead of the syndicate, practice their penchant for fightin’ as they paint the city red literally, while reciting ominous latin verbage, unleashing their own brand of justice on the underworld. Unwittingly the king pin calls forth the murderous iL Duce who soon reigns more violence down upon a city already awash in red sauce and lead.

TheTuesday evening cast features Jack Starr as Agent Paul Smecker, Rebecca Crews and Ruth Allyn Anderson as sisters Niela and Cassidy, Devon Coull as the inculpable Rocco and guesting as the Chief, Ian Willoughby as Officer Greenly, Russian Mobster Checkov, the Priest and Italian mobster Geno, a man of many faces, Natalie Nastulczykova as Officer Dollapoppaskalious aka Dolly, The Dutchess (iL Duce) and Doc, Tim Stafford as Officer Duffy and mobsters Vincenzo and Hojo and Greg Philippi as Joseppi Yakavetta (Papa Joe) and Da’.

Together the cast deliver this one act black comedy to the steps of the confessional with vigor and a dash of brain splatter, culminating at the moment of iL Duce’s dance of death bringing another lawless legend to justice. The Boondock Sisters; Irish angels or societal menace? Perhaps the reality is something in between. Either way, if you’re headin’ for Boston, better strap on your kevlar vest.
