The Rise and Fall
of the Monkey King
By Blair Gageloft (a.k.a. Shawn Ferreyra)

August 4 thru August 20, 2005
At the EXIT Stage Left

El Gato Del Diablo produced its first show in the summer of 2005, The Rise and Fall of the Monkey King by Blair Gageloft (a.k.a. Shawn Ferreyra), which played August 4 - August 20 at the Exit Stage Left.

With influences of Brecht, Butoh dance, and Shakespearean villians, this searing satire tells the tale of a ruler gone mad, despised by his people, hellbent on invading other nations without provocation, driven by a PR machine that loves Neil Diamond. Audiences can expect a special appearance by Lynndie England and the Abu Graib Dance Ensemble!
