According to the Public, "Snapshots from an enigmatic fairy-tale in which Suzie, the elusive coquette, brings Samuel to his knees — from where he worships a life he only half understands, Old-Fashioned Prostitutes (A True Romance) is an expressionistic chamber-play that twists emotional heartache into a landscape of continual mental invention."

Written, directed and designed by acclaimed avant-garde theatre-maker Foreman (Idiot Savant), Old-Fashioned Prostitutes will officially open May 7 and run through June 2. It is presented in association with Foreman's Ontological-Hysteric Theater. The cast comprises Sisto (Seminar, Amadeus The Bacchae) as Samuel, Hayes (February House) as Gabriella, Kraigher (Idiot Savant) as Suzie, performance artist Norena as Michelin Man and David Skeist ("Law & Order") as Alfredo.

Here's a look at the production:
