The Method Gun created by rude mechs presented by The University of Texas at Austin Dept. of Theatre and DanceWe are really very very happy to deliver to Austin the final version of The Method Gun. We finished the play back in 2010 at The Humana Festival, and Austin's never seen this super tweaked and loved on version. This presentation comprises part of our stay as UT Austin's Dept. of Theatre and Dance Resident Theatre Company, and we are excited to share this work with the students and our longtime friends and patrons in the city we love to love. About The Play A play about the ecstasy and excesses of performing, the dangers of public intimacy and the incompatibility of truth on stage and sanity in real life, The Method Gun bounces between interior monologues, rehearsal sequences of Streetcar, and group interactions – all gleaned from historical documents – to express a longing for the return of inspiration and a more believable presentation of self in everyday life. The Method Gun contains adult content, including full frontal male nudity.
