Silver Hammer by Nick Ryan
May 8, 2023 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
$12.69
Silver Hammer is an auto-biographical horror-fiction concerning disinformation, non-linear warfare, arson, troll-farms, Russian oligarchs, psychic attacks, Tik Tok, and our ever-eroding sense of what is true and what is false.
A solo show created and performed by Nick Ryan
‘This play was meant to premiere on May 29th, 2020. The title I submitted on the festival application the previous November was “Vladimir Putin Wants Me Dead,” though I sincerely hoped I would come up with a better one. The concept was to explore the work of Vladislav Surkov. Surkov has functioned as Russia’s effective Minister of Propaganda since Putin came to power. He is said to have engineered the Ukrainian Civil War. He is said to have orchestrated the world-wide online disinformation epidemic… and his background is in avant-garde theater.’
Silver Hammer is a solo show that explores why we tell stories, our susceptibility to online propaganda, and how theater can alter reality.
Doors at 7pm/ Show at 7:30
$10 tickets.
