HYDE PARK — The House Theater is offering a peek into a sprawling three-part fantasy play months in the making on Thursday at the Logan Center for the Arts.
The theater company has spent the summer building a massive dragon puppet and choreographing the fights for “The Excelsior King,” the last installment of “The Hammer Trinity.”
The company is offering a glimpse of the last installment of the play at 6:30 p.m. Thursday at the Logan Center, 915 E. 60th St.
The story is a sprawling epic about a poor farmer who must battle pirates and survive a civil war to claim the throne.
“We translated 'King Arthur' into this proto-parallel America,” writer and director Nathan Allen said of the trilogy on the theater’s website.
The company has spent the summer work shopping the play and building the 10-foot-long dragon that is lit by neon and narrates a portion of the story.
The full trilogy will debut Feb. 21 at the Chopin Theater, 1543 W. Division St.
