| Plot Writer/performer Amanda Moody and director Melissa Weaver investigate the fantastically terrible, yet terrifyingly practical reasons driving three women to kill and kill again. Rich language, surrealist imagery, original music and song take us on a shocking, hilarious and absolutely riveting journey into the dark minds of ladies who share a taste for the ultimate sin. Based on historical and folkloric figures of different centuries and social standings, each act details a new character, explores her fears and how love navigates her through them. “Serial Murderess” marks Moody’s and Weaver’s third theatrical collaboration and their first with visual artist Jennifer Delilah Trammell and composer Clark Suprynowicz, whose original music is woven throughout the piece. Moody’s and Weaver’s last work, “The Winchester Rosary,” was co-presented by Agapé Performance Group and The Paul Dresher Ensemble. They are currently at work on a new opera, “Caliban Dreams,” starring tenor John Duykers, with music by Clark Suprynowicz, commissioned by the San Francisco Shakespeare Festival under artistic director Charles McCue. An original oratorio, “Bitter Harvest (a love story),” is also being developed with composer Kurt Rohde and sound designer Mark Grey for the Berkeley Symphony Orchestra under the musical direction of Kent Nagano. |
