Denison: 'The Call'

The Denison Fringe Festival presents “The Call,” an original play written by Francesca Mouery ’19. After the freak & accidental death of his brother, Danny Bowen has lived a reclusive life within the four walls of his own living room for the past three years. Isolating himself from the outside world, he leads a very lonely & delusional existence, his only company being three taxidermist heads that he had hunted down in his “past life” as an avid hunter. But, when an unassuming visitor arrives, unknowingly challenging Danny’s life as he knows it, the memories of his haunted past begin to come to life, revealing just what led up to the fateful incident that changed his life forever. When a small group of theatre artists programmed some alternative work on the periphery of the inaugural Edinburgh Festival in Scotland in 1947, they ignited the “fringe festival” movement, fostering exciting, non-traditional, and limits-expanding theatre around the world. The Denison Fringe will include a series of diverse original performances by students and faculty, guests, and student organizations and celebrate the theatre-making of Denisonians.
