Primed to take risks, Balagan Theatre’s The Spinning unleashes a frenzied ride on Love's wild side. Blending together our common and dangerous concepts of caring for one another, this truly original musical whips us from the gentle caress of a lover to the stiff support of a collar. Two lovers exist in reality while Pain, Idolatry, Sex, Questions, and the Innocence of our unforgettable youth dance around them. Utilizing musical theatre, iambic pentameter, and S&M, this unconventional production is guaranteed to leave a mark.

"The Spinning is a fast and loose festival of bodies and ribald humor...a spectacle of sex, sin, and sadomasochism, all in the service of a basic tale about the primal power of love." Seattle Weekly Review by Richard Morin Friday, June 1, 2007 Read the review

"[B]oy meets girl, boy loses girl...girl chains boy up, interferes with his clothing, flogs him with two quirts, applies painful devices to sensitive parts of his person and (behind a yard of black cloth) pretends to fellate him."
