Night Moves: The Anthology Project presents Jason
![]() |
For a generation weaned on reality TV, the lines between art (a generous word for the likes of The Bachelor, sure) and life are increasingly blurred. Craigslist offers free story lines to comic artists, ImprovEverywhere's epic pranks make Candid Camera seem quaint, and now theater is bursting off of the stage and into the bedroom.
Tonight, The Anthology Project, who performed Gas for last year's Fringe and were involved in Thursday's laughing flash mob, present Jason, a 30-minute play performed in an actual Graduate Hospital apartment. Jason allows audience members to sit up close and play voyeur as the title character (from Euripides' Medea) wakes up in bed with a mean hangover the morning after his wife has gone on a murderous rampage.
While this is hardly reality TV, it should be enjoyable for all of the same reasons: watching someone else's wretched morning is infinitely more enjoyable than dealing with one yourself. One serving of schadenfreude, coming right up.
Anthology Project presents Jason, 2047 Christian St., 7 and 8 pm, Feb. 23 (also March 2), $5, e-mail rachel@anthologyproject.org (reserve in advance)
