The performance is at The Directors Studio, located at 311 West 43rd Street, 4th Floor, between 8th and 9th Avenues. This one night only event is Monday March 9 at 7pm.
Bob Brader just performed SPITTING IN THE FACE OF THE DEVIL last Saturday, February 14,in the Inaugural Woodstock Memoir Festival, which was headlined by the McCourt Brothers - Frank, Alphie and Malachy. SPITTING IN THE FACE OF THE DEVIL was the featured theatrical event of the Festival and a crowd favorite, sold out show. SPITTING IN THE FACE OF THE DEVIL previously played for a three month extended debut run at The Red Room. Bob Brader's 2nd monologue, PREPARATION HEX, a hemorrhoid tale and romantic comedy, premiered in last years' FRIGID New York Festival and was recently accepted into the London Fringe Theatre Festival, June 18-28.
The sins of the father go on and on from son to son until someone chooses to end them. Bob Brader, Jr. took a knife and nearly killed his father, the Bob Sr. nobody knew. Now his son reveals what only he knows in SPITTING IN THE FACE OF THE DEVIL, a daring and highly personal solo show in the vein of Spalding Gray and Mike Daisey. The show is about the death of the author's father, a terrifying ex-Marine, and their tension-filled relationship. Bob Brader, Sr. harbors a huge personal secret about his sexuality that is revealed halfway through the piece; this revelation comes as a shocking surprise not only to the author, but also to the audience, who discovers the details along with him.
