| US Premiere of Award-Winning Underground Hit UK Drama Continues BLEACH Now through March 10 “A stark, hilarious, pathetic, outre and grotesque pastiche… amazing and chilling.” – Theater Pizzazz “Ortonesque … hilariously delivered in all of its wicked rhythmic glory…adeptly constructed and flavorfully written.” – TheaterScene.net “There’s far more to Bleachthan sensationalism…a compelling reflection on the long-term effect of compromised principles, and a depiction of what happens when one submits to ‘anything and everything’ for material gain.” -- OffOffOnline “BLEACH may well be the most fitting gay theatre piece for our time.” – Theater Is Easy “A surprisingly thoughtful and intriguing play.” – Front Mezz Junkies “BLEACH is one of the more unique, immersive theatrical experiences you are likely to have.” – Stage Left “BLEACH is first-rate cutting edge theater. I’ve never felt closer to a character than this hyper-intimate evening.” – New York Critic “Compelling and revealing...A well-acted, well-crafted, immersive artwork worthy of much attention." – Ewing Reviewing The US Premiere of BLEACH by Dan Ireland-Reeves will extend for an additional 2 weeks. This award-winning underground hit, seen throughout the UK as well as in Paris, Stockholm and Dublin, made its US premiere in January in an intimate, immersive production performed for an audience of 10. Directed by Zack Carey, the site-specific production stars Eamon Yates and Brendan George, who share the role of Tyler, a young man trying to find his way while paying the rent in NYC.
