bash: latterday plays is a collection of three dark one-act plays written by Neil LaBute. Each play is an exploration of the complexities of evil in everyday life. Two of the works, "iphigenia in orem" and "medea redux" have direct Greek influence, specifically Iphigenia in Aulis and Medea by Euripides. In production, the three short mono-duet dramas are presented in varying orders and sometimes omitting one or two of the works. In publication, however, the plays are presented in the following order: "iphigenia in orem" followed by "a gaggle of saints" and concluding with "medea redux". The plays premiered at the Douglas Fairbanks Theater in New York City for a limited run on June 24, 1999 and featured performances by Ron Eldard, Calista Flockhart and Paul Rudd under Joe Mantello's directi

  • bash: latterday plays is a collection of three dark one-act plays written by Neil LaBute. Each play is an exploration of the complexities of evil in everyday life. Two of the works, "iphigenia in orem" and "medea redux" have direct Greek influence, specifically Iphigenia in Aulis and Medea by Euripides. In production, the three short mono-duet dramas are presented in varying orders and sometimes omitting one or two of the works. In publication, however, the plays are presented in the following order: "iphigenia in orem" followed by "a gaggle of saints" and concluding with "medea redux". The plays premiered at the Douglas Fairbanks Theater in New York City for a limited run on June 24, 1999 and featured performances by Ron Eldard, Calista Flockhart and Paul Rudd under Joe Mantello's direction. They were later shown on cable television. The director, as well as the set and sound designer of the New York production, transferred the show to London's fringe Almeida Theatre for a similarly limited run in February and March of 2000 with a new cast of Mary McCormack, Matthew Lillard, and Zeljko Ivanek. The plays had a regional US debut at TheatreZone's Actors Workshop in Boston, directed by Danielle Fauteux Jacques. They were later produced in 2003 by Pittsburgh's barebones productions, directed by Jeffrey M. Cordell. bash: latterday plays later made its West End theatre premiere on January 10, 2007 at the Trafalgar Studios 2, directed by and starring Harry Lloyd, Juliet Rylance, David Sturzaker, and Jodie Whittaker. The play was revived on May 13, 2014 once again at Trafalgar Studios 2, directed by Jonathan O'Boyle and starring Philip Scott-Wallace, Dani Harrison, Tom Vallen, and Rebecca Hickey. This production transferred from the Old Red Lion Theatre and was the West End debut for all four actors. The characters featured in each of these works come from different backgrounds of the Mormon religious tradition, a religion LaBute espoused before receiving religious discipline (disfellowshipment) due to the defamatory nature of this play. He has since left the church. The entire work typically takes about 100 minutes total in performance.A special note on grammar and style in bash: The title of the full work, as well as the titles of the three pieces that comprise the work, regularly appear in all lowercase letters. Occasionally, the word "latterday" will have a hyphen inserted between the second and third syllables. Early publicity for productions of the work followed suit. In the first printed editions of the play, the names of characters and the beginnings of sentences were also not capitalized. Often, the characters' lines are written in an attempt to capture the contractions and patterns of contemporary American speech, such as "'s true" instead of "it is true" or "it's true." (en)
