Dogeaters

Magic Theatre
Fort Mason Center San Francisco

Set in the powder keg of 1982 Philippines during the end of the Marcos regime, Dogeaters brings Jessica Hagedorn's American Book Award-winning novel to the stage. In this no-holds-barred production, Magic Theatre transforms into Manila's mythical Studio 54, where drag queens, beauty queens and movie stars rub shoulders with activists, rebels and the powerful alike. As the country unravels around them, cultures clash in a volatile mix of power, sex and celebrity. Adapted by Hagedorn herself, Dogeaters comes to San Francisco's Magic Theatre directed by Loretto Greco.
