Horsehead

Wannabe Mafia Caught Horsing Around The head of a prize horse is savagely cut off in one of the world’s most well known films The Godfather… ever thought about the two guys who had to do it? Writer Damon Lockwood has. The result is Horse Head, playing at the Blue Room Studio, 29 July – 16 August 2008. From the writer of Domestic Bliss, A Change in the Weather and Nature as Explained by Theatre comes the world premiere tale of two men - the Fonzie Brothers - given this viciously gruesome task to ensure their future with the mob. Lockwood says his infant son was the inspiration for this twisted play: “My first ever night with my son alone was when he was a week and a half old and I didn’t know what to do with him,” says Lockwood. “So, I thought the best thing for us to do as a father and son was to watch The Godfather together. “When that scene happened I wondered aloud to him about the gangsters who had to commit the act… one week later I had my first draft.” Director Mark Storen and actors Damon Lockwood and Sam Longley (The Big HOO-HAA; Sex, Drugs and Self Control) are reunited in this whip cracking satirical comedy.
