‘Quills’ debuts Sunday

MARQUETTE — Wolf’s Head Theater Company presents: “Quills” by Doug Wright at 7:30 p.m. Oct 13, 16, 20, 23, 27 and 30

In October 2019, Wolf’s Head howls back to the Ore Dock Brewing Company to take a bite out of the delectable, seductive horror cartoon of “Quills” by Doug Wright. According to a press release from Wolf’s Head: “Sinfully sensational and eccentrically perverse, our tale immerses you into the middle of Charenton Insane Asylum circa 18th Century France- your bunkmate? The infamous writer, the Marquis de Sade, imprisoned for the rest of his life for ‘unmentionable activities.’ The triangular battle of wills between the Marquis and two men of differing treatment plans/opinions will leave you disturbed, sidesplitted, exhilarated and questioning.”

Visit www.upshakes.org for tickets. Students $10, seniors $12 and general admission $20.

Tickets are also available at the door the night of the event, contingent on sell-out capacity.

Contact: 906-869-1456 or email jamie@upshakes.org for more info.
