New York based theatre group Studio Six will take their performance of ...the itsy bitsy spider... to Bridgeport's The AmFab Art + Design Center. For two weekends, the group will transform Easton artist Paul Kaiser's studio into an intimate setting for shows. The dates are Friday, March 5 and Saturday, March 6; they end their run the following weekend, Friday, March 12 and Saturday, March 12. All shows begin at 7 pm, doors at 6 pm. ...the itsy bitsy spider... is based on an original adaptation of Dostoevsky's "Demons." Studio Six premiered the play this fall in New York at The Baryshnikov Arts Center. Created specifically for Studio Six, ...the itsy bitsy spider... will be directed by Alexandre Marine, a nationally recognized "Distinguished Artist of Russia."The play revolves around a controversial chapter of Dostoevsky's novel that was censored for decades in Russia. The events of this repressed chapter permeate the action and events of the entire novel - and has been the springboard for this production.
