In the Basement
By Bailey Williams
For Brooklyn Rep’s second Glory Basement production, we presented the world premiere of Bailey Williams’s coming of disgusting age comedy In the Basement.
Dingus is disgusting. Her sister Teenie is perfect. Teenie's boyfriend is Jard and Jard is a Christian and Jard is also Dad. Mom is Dad too, if that clarifies things. Anyway, Dad and Mom talked and decided the basement is now an office. Don't go into the basement. Seriously. Final warning. A suburban, Colorado, girl-hood nightmare unfolds in the bowels of queer East London’s favourite drag bar.
In the Basement stars Charlie Wood (Miss Ellaneous, Not Another Drag Competition All Stars Winner), Izzntshe (Priscilla: The Party, Lipsync1000 winner), Sven Ironside (Lipsync1000 2021 Finalist, Scritches), Loussin-Torah (Scritches, Wendy: A Peter Pan Story), and Beth Graham (All the Fraudulent Horse Girls). A live score by Rachel Blaquière, design by Oli Fuller, Ollie Wilson, Matti, and The PUF. Stage Managed by Felicia Jiang.
In the Basement played May 14 through 24, 2023 and hopes to haunt another basement soon…
