Before there was Internet, before there were newspapers, before there were carrier pigeons, there were the messengers. Hunger & Thirst Theatre is proud to present Messenger #1, a new ancient Greek tragedy written by Mark Jackson, which transforms Aeschylus's Oresteia trilogy into an athletic and lean 90 minutes, focusing on the three messengers who serve theater's first dysfunctional royal family.

Messenger #1 is registered with the New York Innovative Theatre Awards. The IT Awards were organized to bring recognition to the great work being done in Off-Off-Broadway and help create a community base for the estimated 40,000 artists working in the Off-Off-Broadway venue.
