The Unsinkable Bismarck
Setting:
The Bismarck
Cast:
Six males
Plot
Summary: An absurdist look at the sinking of
the German Battleship Bismarck. The play mostly
centers around the crew of the Bismarck during their
maiden voyage and their mission to seek out and
destroy the British convoys in the North Atlantic.
Sounds simple enough, but before they can achieve
their glorious objective, they must first survive
sailing around in circles through a fog bank, a tap
dance number, an eccentric admiral, and getting
military advice from a very fowl source. And of
course, there is always the British Royal Navy, who
is desperate to sink the German battleship. Of
course, getting the order to sink the battleship is
one thing. They soon find that carrying out that
order is an adventure in itself.
Premiered
September, 2003 at The Eclectic Company Theatre
(Paul Millet, Director).

Folschinsky's send-up of how Hitler's pet battleship
went end-up fuses the BBC to Sid Caesar, with
sidesplitting results. (LA Times Review)
...If
you're going to make audience members laugh for an
unbroken 1:20, you have to give them time to
breathe. (Backstage West Critic's Pick)
