Finally some genuine action. The Firebugs torch buildings in this satirical indictment of German apathy as a reaction to the Third Reich held in a fictional city being torn apart (down?) by arson. The arsonists come to your doorstep as homeless men looking for shelter, and they don't leave. See it for the Greek chorus of firemen choreographed by James Carmichael. Or for the all-star cast which includes Alexis Burgess and Emily Knapp. Or for McClelland's original production which includes video and slide projections to set the scene and perhaps a real fire to torch the scene. . .
