RODERICK RUSSELL’S PRIVATE THOUGHTS AND OTHER LIES
[NAME OF THEATER]
[DATES]

Roderick Russell brings new theater show to (Your City)

Performance artist and sword swallower Roderick Russell’s newest solo work, Private Thoughts and Other Lies, will open at the [Name of Theater] on [Date]

What can one expect from an artist who swallows swords while dancing a tango, paints pictures on stage of private thoughts that the audience is only thinking and tackles topics such as media manipulation, government conspiracy and modern art? A wild, off-beat and provocative evening that will leave you questioning your most basic assumptions.

Roderick Russell’s latest work blends his highly unique talents - from sword swallowing to thought reading - with dance, spoken word and interactive theater. Part culture jamming socio-political commentary, part visually evocative movement, Russell shifts from seriousness to satire, from highfalutin to farce and back again.

National Public Radio says that it’s “the strangest...event of the month, and perhaps the weirdest of the rest of the year”. A bold, risky show - but what else would you expect from a sword swallower?
