To Battle: a fight play
By José Pérez IV
Directed by Shannon Knapp
August 1-4 and 8-10
Rauh Studio Theater at
The University of Pittsburgh
BroadwayWorld.com says about To Battle, "For years, people have said they wanted to see Scott Pilgrim onstage, and this is as close as ANYONE has come yet to actualizing that dream... The fight choreography...spans styles and influences from pro wrestling to medieval fencing to the slapstick-meets-martial-arts prop fighting of 1980s Jackie Chan films."
An adventurer appears, offering a quest. Adopting the eager Nat, and the reluctant Jo, as “squires”, the adventurer leads the two best friends on an unexpected journey through their seemingly dull town. The call to battle is answered. A parakeet must be avenged. And it starts to become clear: the adventurer is hiding something.
