Sacred Fools Theater Company is excited to announce the creation of The Sacred Lab and its first staged reading of The Last Twelve Years of Phineas Gage. The Sacred Lab is Sacred Fools' new development program and works in two ways: as a Project workshop or as a Director workshop. Artistically, it provides company member playwrights, directors and actors the resources to learn, experiment and gain experience. The workshop also allows the artists to kick the proverbial tires on a specific play in development by producing an elaborate staged reading with some fully staged scenes, thereby examining both the theatricality and design elements as well as future production potential.
When Phineas Gage's tamping iron shot completely through his skull, he defied all medical knowledge and lived to make a full recovery. Or did he? Based on a true story, The Last Twelve Years of Phineas Gage tells the tale of a freak survival, an unwilling celebrity, the competition to lay claim over his diagnosis, and all of the doctors determined to "care" for him.
