Rameau's Nephew

Spooky Action Theater
1810 16th St NW Washington

Denis Diderot's Rameau's Nephew was considered too hot to put into print in the 18th century. See why when the play comes to Spooky Action Theater in D.C. The comedy centers around the titular nephew, a madcap destitute genius who trades witticisms with a logical philosopher, transforming into an entire cast of hilarious characters along the way. Laughably witty, wise and thought-provoking, this physical comedy is a delight for the eyes and the mind.

"...Rameau's Nephew-directed deftly by Richard Henrich-is essentially a quick-witted comedy of morals, in which someone so profligate must of course have someone proper to scandalize and shock. The straight man, accordingly, is a cerebral character the program calls I, a bourgeois fop played by Ian LeValley with punctilious panache."

"..."Rameau's Nephew" gives you plenty to think about and for that reason alone is an interesting theatrical experience. Spooky Action Theater have done wonderful work, with a piece that has always been, and remains controversial, though perhaps for different reasons now."
