THE RED BRICK THEATER PRESENTS "REDBEARD AND DOMICELLA" OFF BROADWAY
Published 2010-06-04
In Off Broadway's Redbeard & Domicella, two high school sweethearts deliver a bold retrospective of their young marriage in "he said, she said" fashion. The witty, irrepressible Redbeard works in a bicycle shop near Brighton Beach; the slightly-built, titanic-hearted Domicella splits her time between a desk at the District Attorney's Office, and the kitchen table where she writes. The play speaks (too soon?) about instances of loss as disparate as September 11th and Michael Jackson's death, as well as Domicella's own close scrape on the wild streets of New York.
Off Broadway's Redbeard & Domicella is a true story. "If I were to write a book about us," the real Redbeard told the real Domicella, "I would call it, The Old Man and the Noise." And so the noise set out to write the story of the old man and the noise, using things they said and things they overheard. This is an ode between man and wife, a collage of quotes, iconic objects and memories. It is also a celebration of the bicycle, a symbol of survival in a city that suffers hard but laughs harder.
