The Second Coming of Klaus Kinski

08/03/2020

The man in this image here is Tony Sancho, a great guy, a friend of the show and a friend of Andrew Perez' since they attended the School at Steppenwolf together.

Last year when our show played at the Ashland Independent Film Festival, we were lucky enough to spend time with Tony after seeing his stellar performance with the Ashland Shakespeare Festival.

Infuriatingly, it was another night, after another performance that he was picked up off the streets of Ashland, taken to a holding cell, beaten and then handcuffed to a floor grate.

Please watch the video to see for yourself what happened and then if you would sign the petition, so some measure of justice might prevail.

Thank you,

Eric & Andrew

If you thought Kinski live was "unnerving", wait until you hear him inside your own head!

Today we are excited to bring you the audio version of The Second Coming of Klaus Kinski!

While at the Ashland Independent Film Festival Play4Keeps Podcast gave us this wonderful opportunity.

More news from this wonderful weekend in Ashland:

We turned The Second Coming of Klaus Kinski into a radio play at Oregon Shakespeare thanks to Ashland New Plays Festival and their Play for Keeps series!

It was a dream come true because when I first started playing Klaus, my college acting professor Mary Pool ordered be a boxed set called “Kinski Spricht” of Kinski reciting Shakespeare, Francois Villon, Rimbaud, etc, in German. It was a big part of his career.

This made a lot of emotional sense and I’m pretty blown away by the experience. Special Thanks to Vilma Silva!
