Year of the Rooster

Theatre of NOTE
1517 N. Cahuenga Blvd. Hollywood

Kelly Gil is a loser. He works at McDonald's, lives with his ailing mother and hasn't had a girlfriend since ... ever. But that's all about to change. He's been secretly training (and drugging) a rooster to fight. And Odysseus Rex (aka Odie) is the baddest barnyard bird around. Gil has so much faith in Odie's abilities that he bets everything on him -- but victory and revenge may not yield the delicious spoils he anticipates. A fiercely comic play about cockfighting, connections and clawing your way to the top -- don't miss the Los Angeles premiere of Olivia Dufault's Year of the Rooster at Hollywood's Theatre of Note.

"...Director McKerrin Kelly keeps the pace tight and the tension tightly wound. The audience is seated on both sides of the stage, complementing the play's quick and fluid action. The short scenes are punctuated by drum-heavy, too-quick transitions. The play's dramatic tension is heightened by Bosco Flanagan's lighting design. Costume design by Michael Mullen is outstanding, particularly the imaginative interpretation of the birds. Set design by Amanda Knehans is appropriately sparse, while sound designer Warren Davis adds little variety to the play's tempo."
