From Rogue to Fringe... that's the next step for Marcel Nunis' one act TALE END. It will be one of 48 shows featured at the 17th San Francisco Fringe Festival which runs September 3 – 14.

Pre-festival performances are slated for August 15 and 22 at the Full Circle Brewing Co., 620 F Street, Fresno, California and provides the opportunity for the Fresno audience to see the show with the current new cast before it travels to the fringe.

The current cast includes the talents of Jessica Knotts and Melissa Geston sharing the role of Ms. White as well as David Otero in the role of Hunter.

“We are excited with this production. Marcel has revised the script – which is even tighter than before. Dave brings a fresh, exciting take on the role of Hunter and both Jessica and Melissa each contribute a unique twist to the role of Ms. White.” - Greg Taber, producer.

ABOUT THE PLAY:

“What if the Kingdom was a run down Vegas casino on the brink of oblivion? What if its princess was willing to use all the cold charms of a black widow to preserve her birthright? TALE END blows the faerie out of the tale with a cold loaded Glock in this contemporary deliciously devious thriller.”

TALE END is set in a Target store in Las Vegas. What begins as an after hours shopping spree quickly descends into a devious cat and mouse game between the characters of Ms. White and Hunter. It is a fast paced plot where power can and does shift in a blink of an eye. Twists in the story include violence, murder, family secrets, sexuality, the tawdry lives of casino magnates, all under the scrutiny of surveillance cameras.

FRESNO PERFORMANCES

Performances in Fresno will feature Jessica on August 15th and Melissa on August 22nd. At the Fringe in San Francisco Jessica will perform the first week and Melissa the second. The performances in Fresno are further enhanced by the musical stylings of 2 marvelous Fresno based musical groups… namely Suicide Lounge and Scats On The Sly. So, each evening promises to be a complete entertainment package.
