SPITTING IN THE FACE OF THE DEVIL
June 20,
2007
The John Montgomery Theatre Company and Horse Trade are pleased to announce an extension of Bob Brader's monologue SPITTING IN THE FACE OF THE DEVIL. Performances are at the Red Room,
located at 85 East 4th Street between 2nd and 3rd
Avenues. Performances are Mondays at 7pm now through July 16, with a special
late night performance on Thursday July 12 at 10pm. The run began on Monday, May 7.
Robert A. Brader, Sr. died on March 3, 2003. Everybody loved him, but nobody knew him. Now his son will reveal what nobody but he
knows in SPITTING IN
THE FACE OF THE DEVIL, a daring and highly personal
solo show in the vein of Spalding Gray and Mike Daisey. The show is about the death of the author's
father, a terrifying and abusive ex-Marine, and their tension-filled
relationship, which is contrasted with the love of his supportive mother. The father harbors a huge secret which will
be revealed halfway through the piece; this revelation comes as a gigantic and
shocking surprise not only to the author, but also to the audience, who
discovers this information along with him.

Her Benny ("One of the most theatrically interesting pieces I have

Bachner and starred Bob Brader. JMTC
has received a great deal of a positive press in the past; Time Out New York
said the company was "Off-Off Broadway at its best! Bob Brader has
appeared in several JMTC productions.
