IDIOT STRING ANNOUNCES 2019 PERIPATETIC PLAYERS SUMMER TOUR: “A LORD OF A RING IN A SUITCASE”


Oakland, CA. ~ Idiot String (Founding Producers Joan Howard and Rebecca Long- worth) is proud to announce the Samuel Peaches Peripa- tetic Players’ 2019 Bay Area Parks tour. This summer’s show, created and performed by the five-member travelling troupe, is a parody of J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Fellowship of the Ring entitled A Lord Of A Ring In A Suitcase, and will play six performances in public parks on Saturdays and Sundays, August 17 - 25, 2019. Performances are free of charge, though donations are accepted. “This summer, Samuel Peaches and his gang are packing their entire pro- duction into several suitcases,” explains Joan Howard, Idiot String’s co-founder, who also plays Thumper of the Peripa- tetic Players. Past tours have featured Fluxwagon, the Play- ers’ folding mobile stage, but this year all the props, cos- tumes, and scenic elements will come out of the suitcases -- as the parody’s title implies. Joan says, “we figured that since the Hobbits and their companions had to carry all their possessions during their epic journey to destroy the


One Ring, we should do the same for our show.” This year will mark the


Peripatetic Players’ sixth per- formance tour to Bay Area Parks. Past productions have included Shiver We Tim- bers (2018), a pirate-themed choose-your-own adventure; O Best Beloved (2014), an ad- aptation of Rudyard Kipling short stories; and Shakespeare or Space Wars (2016-2017), a mash-up of Romeo and Juliet with Star Wars: A New Hope. Each show features a recurring cast of eccentric thespians, the Players, who take on various roles in the production, and whose backstage antics are as much a part of the show as the story itself. Especially since they don’t always agree on how to put on the show. “Samuel Peaches is the creative force behind each play and the impresario of the troupe,” says Rebecca Longworth, Id- iot String’s co-founder and the director of the show. “But he can’t really control the strong personalities of the other Play- ers. They have their own ideas, and sometimes those come into conflict with Samuel’s artistic vision. But somehow, they always make it to the end

of the show together -- in un- der an hour!” Traditionally, the audience also factors in Peripatetic Play-


ers productions, and A Lord Of A Ring In A Suitcase will be no different. “Mr. Peaches’ grandiose staging ideas are sometimes difficult to pull off with just five actors,” says Re- becca. “In past productions, the audience have been cast as a pirate army, alien ball guests, rebel pilots, and flocks of sheep. Samuel loves giving them acting tips along the- way.” The Players often find other reasons to interact with the audience during the show, and enjoy chatting with audi- ence members both before No tickets or reservations are nec- essary.
