Flowers in the Wardrobe
By Kevin King
Directed by Steven Eubank
Arts Asylum, May 10-31, 2014
A delightfully naughty mash-up of "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe" and "Flowers in the Attic." The Dollanganger children are locked in their grandmother's attic, seemingly forever, until they discover a hidden world in an old wardrobe. Once they arrive in Narnia, they make friends with a pair of beavers and a faun that might have nefarious intentions.

IN THE PRESS
The Pitch: Flowers in the Wardrobe is an NC-17 mash-up of children's classics
"What unfolds is an unapologetically campy mash-up in which few beloved icons are spared..." with "nonstop sexual gags, props as punch lines, and generalized debauchery."
Broadway World.com: Premiere of FLOWERS IN THE WARDROBE is Hilarious Romp Into Land of Talking Animals & Witches
"Flowers in the Wardrobe is reminiscent of Saturday Night Live and the movie Airplane in the campy antics that take the audience to a higher plane of humor. To get all the comedy built into these very humorous pieces the audience members would have to see it at least twice."
The Examiner: Camp abounds in absurd comedy 'Flowers in the Wardrobe'
"A fun-filled show brings lots of laughs, several groans, plenty of opportunities to imbibe (if you play the drinking game)... No one who attends should expect a "classic" theater experience. This is sheer fun and absurdity."
