The Wild Party

'The Wild Party' is a literary cult hit, a poem by Joseph Moncure March that documents the excesses of Jazz Age Hollywood. It's getting a musical staging later this winter at Lloyd Webber's new theatre The Other Palace, but this fringe production clings more tightly to its source material. Two actors bring the poem's rhythms and stories to life, in a gin-soused romantic adventure. Rafaella Marcus directs.
