Away, You Ethiop! By David Samuel
2024-10-15 19:30 - 21:00 | LaGuardia Performing Arts Center, 31-10 Thomson Ave, Long Island City, 11101, United States
Away, You Ethiop! For Shakespeare lovers, it’s a line in A MidSummer Night’s Dream. For actor/artist David Samuel, it’s the title of the solo show meets concept album meets short film that tells the story of what it was like to grow up the eldest son in an immigrant Habesha (Ethiopian/Eritrean) household in the DMV. Think of it as if RAMY was a Christian-raised, fat East African and could also rap and produce music really well (like Donald Glover), and really loved the mediums of live theater and storytelling (like Shakespeare). He also has a sick impression of his Dad that really sounds nothing like his Dad. That’s Away, You Ethiop!
