Martha Graham Cracker’s Lashed But Not Leashed
Martha Graham Cracker lives inside the frenzied mind, body and spirit of Pig Iron Theatre Company co-founder Dito van Reigersberg. Backed by a live band, Martha croons a music-driven fever dream of a show about a life of hard living and even harder loving. The dazzling drag-cabaret darling excavates her distorted past, belting out original tunes and dishing up ridiculous stories and side-splitting asides. Roughed up and worked over, Martha comes up with an unusual plan to barricade herself from loves lost, but not forgotten: tonight she will bury her heart.
About Martha Graham Cracker
Hailing from the City of Brotherly Love and a regular at Joe's Pub at The Public Theater, Martha Graham Cracker is the self-proclaimed "tallest, hairiest drag queen in the world." Her monthly cabaret series at L'Etage in Philadelphia has been running for more than 13 years. From inventing bar-top Pilates to channeling Chaka Khan to making landings on the laps of hapless audience members, this revolution in a wig is unstoppable, bringing her narrative and musical shenanigans to theaters and clubs across the globe, from Kensington to Kentucky, from Austin to Boston, from Provincetown to Poland.
