Paranoia Strikes Deep In
Student-Directed Theatre Production
Set in a sleazy Oklahoma motel room, Tracy Lett’s “Bug” is a wild ride into paranoia, drugs and conspiracy theories. Members of the Clemson Players and Alpha Psi Omega, the theatre honor society, are presenting “Bug” in the Bellamy Theatre located in the Brooks Center for the Performing Arts at Clemson University beginning Thursday, Nov. 30 through Sunday, Dec. 3.
“Bug” takes place shortly after the first Iraq war and follows Agnes, a honky tonk chick hiding out from her violent ex-con husband. The situation becomes more volatile when she is introduced to Peter, a combat veteran who’s AWOL (absent without leave) from a nearby army hospital, where he claims government doctors and technicians used him as a guinea pig.
Is Peter a paranoid schizophrenic or the results of some twisted military experiment? Have “they” really implanted bugs under his skin? Agnes seems to think so, even to the point of seeing bugs in the hotel room and breaking out in itchy red welts.
Directed by senior performing arts major Jeff McLaren, “Bug” features Clemson
University theatre professor
Carrie Ann Collins and fellow performing arts students Anthony Goodin, Grayson Powell, Sheldon Paschal and Meg Pierson.
“This is definitely a deep trip through the wrong side of town,” said McLaren. “’Bug’ is edgy and explosive.”
Curtain times for “Bug” are 8 p.m. Thursday-Saturday, Nov. 30-Dec. 2, and 3 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 3. Tickets are $5 for students and $7 for adults and available at the door.
