DONNIE AND GREG: AN UNAUTHORIZED TRANSFORMATIVE WORK is a new one act play centering on a blossoming gay high school romance at the height of the AIDS crisis in the late 80s, which lovingly transforms familiar elements from a famous 2001 horror/sci fi cult classic film featuring The Gyllenhaals and Drew Barrymore (you know the one) involving time travel, the music of Tears for Fears, parallel universes, paranormal orbs, and a freaky-looking bunny into a new unauthorized, transformative, theatrical work.
A long-time passion project of Sean Pollock's, DONNIE AND GREG was a dream-come-true that was lovingly fulfilled as part of SoHo Playhouse's "Lighthouse Series" in March 2024. An encore run was performed in ONE ACTS: VOLUME 1 at Brooklyn Art Haus May 31 - June 2, 2024.
This one-act version is only a fraction of a larger script which we hope to bring to life one day in the (near?) future. If you’re a rich person and/or college institution who wants to see the full script get brought to life, drop us a line at unattendedbaggageco [at] gmail [dot] com.
