Porkalob's Dragon trilogy, three solo shows drawn from her own family, has been one of the most talked-about strands of American solo theatre of the past decade, and this is the last chapter being built in front of an audience rather than delivered finished. In a workshop run, Friday's version and Saturday's version can differ. Pay What You Can from $20 makes it the cheapest serious theatre ticket in the city this weekend, for anyone who lands a seat.
What to expect
A solo performance with live accompaniment in the Geffen's smaller Audrey Skirball Kenis Theater, presented as a work in progress, with the development process part of what is on show.
