KAIJU, world premiere by by Dan Caffrey, has been extended through Nov. 22 at North Hollywood’s Road Theatre, directed byKen Sawyer.
Cherish Monique Duke (Apex/Amelia), Leandro Cano (Goilath/Manual), Gloria Ines (Lee), Jon Snow (Roy), Milly Baker (Kyle), Noa Lev-Ari (Sondra, Ann Hearn (Maggie), and Sapna Kumar (Rani).
Funny, unsettling, and audacious, the play uses the spectacle of gigantic mythic monsters to examine power, destruction, artistic responsibility, and the fragile rituals of contemporary culture. Chaos becomes pageantry and pageantry becomes debate in a theatrical event that forces both artist and audience to confront the power—and futility—of making art.
