Hard Sparks: Bareback Ink and The Cabaret at the End of the World

Hard Sparks gives the ancients a twist with a pair of shows in rep: Bob Bartlett's Bareback Ink (directed by David Drake), a modern queer update of the Ganymede myth, set in a tattoo shop; and Melody Bates and Rebecca Hart's The Cabaret at the End of the World (directed by Joan Jubett), set in a nightclub in Julius Caesar–era Rome.
