In 1888 old London town.
Ms. Vesta's Brothel did burn down.
This doubtful fire claimed we guests.
This empty stage our souls unrest.
Eternally damned to entertain.
To your delight and our disdain.
unwritten, unscripted...except this verse
Spontaneous diversion is our curse.
Vesta, Vascillus, Riffus and Bawk.
Will spin and spit and slither and squawk.
And if we shadows do offend...
Live with it!!
The Doubtful Guests an improvised macabre cabaret that is based in Los angeles California.
It was created by Jason Ades, Sabrina Hill, Todd Stashwick and Ezra Weisz. This foursome wanted to take improvised theater into a more stylized, highly theatrical form.
The show is a kaliedescopic improvised play. Spinning scenes, songs and madness into an unforgettable night of improvised mayhem.
The backstory: four decrepit bufoons, living in the underbelly of Jack the Ripper's London, are killed in a brothel fire in 1888. Their damnation is to perform this improvised cabaret. Always aware that what they are doing is a performance, it becomes a show within a show as the players, begrudgingly,take on the roles of that evenings tale of woe. Dark morality plays emerge as tales of cumuppance and revenge are exacted on the stage.
All of this delicious darkness is scored by the quartet known as The Penny Dreadful. Accordion, Mandolin, Stand up Bass and a Drumkit expertly plunk out the twisted little ditties discovered along the way.
