BLEEDING RED

a World Premiere by Michael Brian Ogden

April 9, 2009 – May 30, 2009

The biggest football match in twenty years is about to kick off across the pond in London. Tommy, confirmed bachelor and passionate Liverpool fan, arrives at his best mate Bobby’s flat to discover he’s been dumped by his fiancee. Trouble is, Bobby is the linchpin of the all-important pre-game ritual. Tommy must get him to the pub before the game starts, even if it means recruiting the help of another traitorous female, Bobby’s fetching sister Sarah.

PRESS QUOTES

“With this play, Ogden captures the importance of the seemly casual pastimes that occupy our lives and fill the spaces between the few moments of true intimacy.”

– Lansing City Pulse

“… Bleeding Red is a decidedly strong showing for Ogden, leaving the impression that there are many fine productions still to come from his pen. He’s done an admirable job distilling the complex, but universal emotions of love – of both sport and romance – into a cohesive and witty play, and the result is both unique and genuinely entertaining.”

– Encore Michigan
