A Sexy Gory Grand Guignol Pop Art HorrorShow Live on Stage!
Starring Dan Novey, Jordan Mullins, Danny McCarthy, Emma Jansen and Andrew Goetten.
In New York’s drug-fueled 60’s, after recruiting Edie Sedgwick, Lou Reed and Valerie Solanas for screen tests, pop art innovator Andy Warhol decided to abandon his soup can paintings and dedicate himself to making edgy art films. In 1973 he produced “Flesh for Frankenstein” in 3D, a shocking and sexy retelling of the classic horror tale. But are the monsters Andy’s created for his campy cinema assault his debauched actors, or himself?
Award-winning writer/director Steven Vlasak has stitched together a hilarious and heartbreaking gross-out recreating Warhol’s wild Factory years, spotlighting his Superstars, and all the bloody disgusting body parts and dismemberments crammed into the making of the kitschy classic.
