About the show
Princess Kosmonopolis is a movie star – or at least she used to be. These days, it’s easier to find another bottle of vodka than a picture deal.
Far from Hollywood, she's arrived with her escort, Chance Wayne, in his hometown of St. Cloud, Mississippi. He’s desperate to track down his high school sweetheart, Heavenly, and ride off with her into the sunset--even if it means ditching Princess.
The Goat Exchange employs their signature irreverent approach to the canon as they strip down Tennessee Williams’ classic ensemble drama into an intimate meditation on the desperation of love and youth.
About the ARTISTS
THE GOAT EXCHANGE is an interdisciplinary performance company founded by co-Artistic Directors Chloe Claudel and Mitchell Polonsky in 2016.
The company brings together artists from across disciplines to create live art, film, public installation, and experimental theater. They enjoy working with old films, new plays, verbatim transcripts, classic texts, and ladybugs.
Their work is interdisciplinary and collaborative, incorporating wide-ranging influences from opera, dance, literature, classic cinema, vaudeville, slapstick, pop-culture, and public art. The Goat Exchange has developed over 20 original productions in traditional theaters and a range of site-specific venues, from a museum gallery to a swimming pool to a football stadium to a kitchen sponge.
BIANCA LEIGH recently concluded her run as Mary's Chaperone/Bill in the Original Cast of Oh, Mary! (Off-Broadway and Broadway). Other performances include Waxy Bush in The Nap (u/s, performed) at MTC, Frannie Halcyon in Tales of the City: The Musical in concert at the Music Box Theatre, Time/Wind in Taylor Mac's The Lily's Revenge, Tatiana in Trans Scripts, Part 1: The Women, Mary Ellen in the groundbreaking film Transamerica and Dr. Rachel Sandow on "Law & Order: SVU."
Her writings include "Orla" in Overheard: Fourteen Monologues commissioned by the Breaking the Binary Festival. She is featured in Laverne Cox's documentary Disclosure on Netflix, and can be heard on Audible's recording of Chonburi International Hotel and Butterfly Club.
MARCUS AMAGLO is an actor from Cornwall — recent projects with The Goat Exchange include Deadclass, Ohio at the Tank and the New Ohio, Jason at VAULT Festival, and Cat on a Hot Tin Roof at the Provincetown Tennessee Williams Festival.
