The Week in Germany: Culture July 20, 2007 Theater Tip: Gregor and Olga Grace the Capital Fringe Festival
Washington, DC’s Capital Fringe Festival, an annual event that features risk-taking art will serve up some experimental European cabaret next weekend when the Gregor and Olga Show comes to The Source Theater. Hideous comedy ensues when Gregor, a misanthropic Berlin poet and his scheming Russian wife Olga bring their disastrous European vaudeville show to 1947 Washington. The beautiful fan dancer, Ruby Valentine, and the suave night club crooner Tony Caruso, take the stage in the scandalous show-within-a-show -- and become pawns in Gregor and Olga's diabolical one-upmanship. Gregory Levine and Gabi Hegan, from the Bronx and Munich respectively, respectively, created their characters in an improv class in 2003. Gregor & Olga first hit NYC stages via 12-minute sketches, evolving biographically as the show's storyline was built around them. Now, it's a fully-realized musical comedy-drama of pathological jealousy, devotion, cunning, betrayal -- and of course, show business.
