Hollywood Fringe Festival - Bela Lugosi Meets Edna St. Vincent Millay

Widely acclaimed and award-nominated So Cal actress Rose London spins a zany, improbable tale about Bela Lugosi (1882-1956), the iconic star of Dracula, and Edna St. Vincent Millay (1892-1950), the Pulitzer Prize-winning poet of the Jazz Age-how the poster girl for Women's Lib, who burns the candle at both ends as she sleeps her way through Greenwich Village in the Roaring '20s, meets up with (or does she?) the actor/activist and political refugee from Hungary who's determined to leave his mark-preferably on your neck. Written by award-winning playwright Jordan R. Young. Directed by by award-winning director Christine Cummings.

$15. $20 at the door. $12 student rush 15 minutes before show time.

"Jordan R. Young's one-woman show 'Bela Lugosi Meets Edna St. Vincent Millay' creates an unlikely but fascinating intersection of two cultural figures who never actually met…avoids the weaknesses of biographical plays through sharp comic timing and unexpected contrasts."

-James Scarborough, What the Butler Saw: An Arts Magazine

"Wildly imaginative one-woman show that brings together the iconic Dracula star and the dazzling Jazz Age poet… this smart, funny, and thought-provoking piece explores passion, politics, poetry, and fame with razor-sharp wit."

-Craig Tyrl, The Wayward Artist

"There is definitely a lot of juice in this piece, with genuinely delicious, nostalgic, even important old Hollywood topics like the blacklist, subversion, actor exploitation and sex."

-Tracey Paleo, Gia on the Move

 "It's a love letter to Millay and Lugosi. It's woven together beautifully…and it's got teeth."

-Miranda Jonte (solo performer/playwright), Good and Kissed

"A wild ride through the lives of two modern freethinkers of the mid-20th Century, whose passion for expression churned within them, realized through vivid artistic creations that grew out from under them… We feel ourselves caught up amid the Hollywood/Greenwich Village glitterati, living for that brief, most precious moment in which that candle continues to burn."

-Tim Mooney (solo performer/playwright), Moliere Than Thou

"Not to be missed. Jordan Young taps his prodigious knowledge and life experience to create a showcase, peppered with one-liners and a keen sense of life's coincidences, for the indefatigable force of nature that is Rose London."
