‘A World of Her PWN’ revolves around the eccentric and ever exciting life of Samantha, a full time transcriber and aspiring writer for the online gaming magazine, Isometric View. Socially awkward, Samantha revels in escaping disappointments of the real world into a world of PWNage.

Set in an insane but tropical landscape full of Amazons with issues, Samantha will be playing Stevie, a hardass photographer with a chip on her shoulder and a mean long range lens.

Samantha’s in a new show!

This upcoming January, Do What Now Media will present their 2008 production of their critically acclaimed Bitch Macbeth. Following two previous successful runs in 2000 and 2003, writer and director Frank Cwiklik is launching a new and revamped production in the new year.

Samantha will be portraying Femme Macbeth the cunning, brutal, and always ambitious lady-wife of Macbeth, in this epic tale of the collapse of an empire. Running weekends in January, the production will appear at Brooklyn’s Brick Theater, named Time Out New York’s “Essential Theater Space for 2007.”

From the Bitch Macbeth website, where additional information about the show, tickets, and publicity photos can be found:

In a dark and stony cathedral, a pair of dominas divine a prophecy in the whip-worn scars of a penitent slave’s back. Macbeth is chosen, a long, hard road, a climb. As he and his Femme rise, kill, slaughter, the House of Asbury, torn by addiction and destitution, unravels publicly, sending Prime, a sensitive young girl, into an abyss of sadosexual torment, and her brother, Small, to join his sadoslave and confidante in a burgeoning revolution that may bring about the total destruction of this alien civilization.

Tickets are $25, and directions to the space can be found at the website for the Brick Theater.

Previews January 4th and 5th at 8pm, January 6th at 7:30pm
Performances: January 10-27th. Thursdays-Saturdays at 8pm, Sundays at 7pm
