Flea Theater
41 White Street New York, NY 10013

The Flea's spring 2020 centerpiece will be the World Premiere production of The Fre by Tony Award nominee and Bat Theater Company alum, Taylor Mac, and directed by The Flea's Artistic Director and frequent Taylor Mac collaborator, Niegel Smith. The Fre tells the story of an intellectual aesthete who is trapped inside a mud put in the middle of a swamp by the swamp's fatuous inhabitants who call themselves the "Fre." Using a combination of potty-mouthed prose versus heightened verse and loosely based on The Frogs by Aristophanes, The Fre will take audiences literally and figuratively into a mud pit to hash out the current political divide. It is a play for all ages; children and their families are encouraged to come.
