‘Pawnshop Accordions’, New York – USAby Rob Howard |
‘Pawnshop Accordions’, an accordion-inspired drama and a recent work by playwright Jonathan Wallace, will run from August 9th to 16th as part of the annual New York International Fringe Festival. The play will be staged at Bleecker Street Theatre, 45 Bleecker Street, New York, NY 10012. Described in the advertising as “A hallucinatory drama of community and violence in New York’s netherworld,” ‘Pawnshop Accordions’ tells the story of a cynical EMT, a mute accordionist, a sinister Albanian, and a prophetic schizophrenic struggle to protect one another - not exactly ‘Fiddler on the Roof’! The play features Gina Samardge (of the Maestrosities and Main Squeeze Orchestra) as Zaida, the mute accordionist, and she will be performing live accordion music onstage, including traditional Eastern European and klezmer songs and original compositions.
