RAG AND BONE by Noah Haidle
Two brothers, Jeff and George, run The Ladder Store, which is actually a front for their business in blackmarket
hearts. In the world of Rag and Bone, hearts are bought and sold for people who can't feel
enough. The play begins when George steals the heart of a poet. The play then follows the poet with no
heart; a hooker with a heart of gold; T-Bone, her pimp who feels too damn much; and the Millionaire,
who eventually receives the poet's heart and sees a whole different world. Jeff and George recently lost
their mother, but they put her heart into George's body, and all of a sudden he's wearing a dress, drinking
martinis and cooking pot roasts. This is a heartfelt (excuse the pun) comedy about the limits of feeling,
and the consequences of either feeling nothing or too damn much.
Rag and Bone is directed by Rubicon Theatre Project’s own Scott Allen Luke, and features Rubicon
ensemble members Josh Johnson and Adam Prugh. Also featuring: Danny Bernardo, Jacob Ware, Rob
Grabowski, Wendy Mateo, and Will Jones.
