I’ll see you in Boston.
In AUTOCRAT, Cody Sullivan uses his 35-year-old gay body to inhabit the members of the Leclerc family, a French-Canadian-descended, lower-middle-class family living in South Central Massachusetts. What is the torture for this family in Massachusetts? And why is it centered around an old bottle of Autocrat Coffee Syrup? See the play that critics called "the flavor of the times" (Provincetown Independent), a show that "crackles with electricity" and "is in short, brilliant" (Provincetown Magazine).
Tickets coming soon.
Uncle Kurt is into historical S/M. Specifically torture inflicted to punish those who stood up for their convictions: The Quakers in 17th century New England who refused to go to Puritan Mass, the Artists who refused to play McCarthy’s games, and the Jews, Muslims and heretics punished by the Spanish Inquisition. What is the torture for the Leclerc family? And why is it centered around an old bottle of Autocrat Coffee Syrup? It’s stickiness contained by a nostalgic plastic bottle.
Cody Sullivan is a playmaker based out of Provincetown MA.
Cody was trained as an improviser in Chicago at the iO Theater. He has spent the last decade writing plays. He creates solo plays, community theater and plays for his company.
