Last night I attended “Blood Bucket Ballyhoo”, at the Hypnodrome at 10th and Bryant.
Billed as a modern “Grand Guignol”, this theater specializes in performances of several one-act plays featuring murder, betrayal, affairs of the hearts, crimes of passion and blood, lots of blood. The ambiance ends up as one part vaudeville, one part Rocky Horror Picture Show and one part Nightmare on Elm Street.
But mostly it was a reminder of why I so enjoy living in this city. I can’t imagine where else I could live, where on any random weekend I can say “We should do something tonight” and find such bizarre and inventive offerings as this.
