Bash'd! was created by Chris Craddock and Nathan Cuckow, who star as T-Bag and Feminem, respectively, and features music by Aaron Macri. The story involves Jack and Dillon, a pair of star-crossed lovers who must face reality when one is brutally beaten. Turning the often-homophobic hip-hop genre on its ear, Bash'd! is told entirely through rap, spoken word and poetry, and handles its heavy subject matter with high energy and lots of irreverence.
The Zipper production will play five performances a week and is being presented by Stephen Kocis, Carl D. White, Paul Boskind and Michael Filerman.
