Nuns, prostitutes, murder, cannibalism and lots of crazy sex; these are all elements in “The Gears,” a play premiering for the first time in the United States in Towson University’s own Dreyer MFA Lab.
David Gregory, a third-year graduate student in the theater arts department, translated “The Gears” from the Spanish play “Los Engranajes,” written by Spanish playwright Raúl Hernández Garrido.
The show is loosely based on the true story of a Russian couple that murdered a friend, and the tale of their desperate love and strange antics.
In 1997 Hernandez won the Lope de Vega prize, one of Spain’s most reputable playwright awards, for “Los Engranajes.”
