A. Rey Pamatmat's "Thunder Above, Deeps Below" is a four-act dramatic comedy that follows three homeless young adults-a Filipina-American with a hidden past, a Filipina transsexual, and a Puerto Rican hustler-trying to find money to escape the upcoming Chicago winter. All have been abandoned, one way or another, and the play graphically depicts their efforts to find a better way of life. Loosely based on Shakespeare's "Pericles", "Thunder Above, Deeps Below" speaks on issues of displacement related to culture and gender and sexuality, with classic themes of human survival and redemption. NOT FOR CHILDREN. (Produced by special arrangement with Samuel French, Inc. New York City.)
