Manson | family valUeS
Presented by LIDA Project in conjunction with the VORTEX
Direct from its UK run, The LIDA Project Experimental Theatre Company presents its collaborative work, MANSON | family valUeS.
MANSON | family valUeS is based on the lives of the young family of followers whose paths were forever altered under the watchful gaze of their messiah, Charles Manson. This is a small, twisted peek into the events leading up to and following the ritual murders of actress Sharon Tate and six others during the summer of 1969. Created in the unique style of The LIDA Project, MANSON | family valUeS offers a bizarre and wickedly eerie journey into the cult that changed our definition of evil forever and spawned America’s first pop-culture media villain. Originally created and produced by LIDA and built from actual events, interviews and transcripts, this compelling, fresh work was one of the most talked about theatre events of the 2003 season.
This production run, under the direction of Robin Davies and Brian Freeland marks the debut of LIDA's unique theatrical brand of media-infused, devised storytelling in Austin.
