Kick off The New York International Fringe Festival with the
world premiere of bombs in your mouth [sic], written by Rude Mechanicals
member Corey Patrick and directed by Joseph Ward. bombs in your mouth is
produced by LAByrinth Theater Company member Justin Reinsilber. Performances
run from August 10th to 24th, 2007 at the Cherry Lane Studio Theatre (38
Commerce St.) in NYC.
bombs in your mouth was developed on NYC’s 8th Street in the former
apartment of Jimi Hendrix. Its creative process echoed the collaborative
tradition of The Joint Stock Company. bombs in your mouth centers around
estranged half-siblings Danny and Lilly, who haven't spoken for five years.
While Lilly pursued a lofty advertising career in Manhattan, Danny took care
of their abusive, insane father in Minnesota, building up mountains of
resentment in the process. The death of their father reunites Danny and
Lilly, forcing them to hash out their differences in a beer and Jell-O
filled kitchen. When it comes to family, anyone or anything is fair game.
Corey Patrick’s first play, long way back [sic], was produced at the Fringe
in 2001. His play, Later Than Before, has been work-shopped by the LAByrinth
Theater Company and was given a reading by the Rude Mechanicals Theater
Company. He is a member of the Actor’s Studio Playwright/Director’s
Workshop. Corey was recently named Managing Director of The Rude Mechanicals
Theater Company.
Joseph Ward’s NYC directing credits include A Modest Adjustment (Ohio
Theater/Ignite Festival), The Rumor and Cuba (The 24 Hour Play Company) and
80 Cards (HERE). He directed On the Razzle, Can-Can and Catch at the
Williamstown Theatre Festival. Joseph assisted Anthony Page on Edward
Albee’s Occupant starring Anne Bancroft at the Signature Theatre Company. He
has an MFA in Directing from UCSD and while there he directed Arms and the
Man, which won with the KPBS Patté Award for Outstanding Direction.

RatFace at the 2005 Fringe (New York Magazine Honorable Mention). She is a
graduate of Sarah Lawrence College and the William Esper Studio. Corey’s
