Here is a highly inventive productive that will definitely remind the masses of the extraordinary unique quality of the theater. The Floating Brothel chronicles the epic journey of 5 women convicts pulled out of the London under belly and placed on a boat to continents unknown. The full production takes place on a 3 by 6 foot platform that the actresses never step off of. Watch as they transform the space from a bustling London street to dark bilge of a ship.

Planted alongside the whirligig that is FDR Drive, the environmental venue is the perfect oasis-in-the-desert to lure the ten-speeds and fixed-gears over bridges for the first time (the previous six powwows went down in Brooklyn). With its call to cameras, the series offers cycle-centered moving pictures that are made by riders and voted on, with appropriate egalitarianism, by an enthusiastic audience. Come to kvetch about automotive etiquette or to take a picturesque water break by the East River."
