MOLOTOV Featured on WAMU's METRO CONNECTION
Alex Zavistovich and Lucas Maloney of Molotov Theatre Group were interviewed in November by WAMU 88.5FM's local radio news magazine, Metro Connection. Read the blurb below and listen to the interview!
"You know when you reach the bottom of your candy bag that October 31st is but a distant memory. But DC's Molotov Theatre is keeping the horrors of Halloween alive and well in Dupont Circle. The mission? To revive the style of the Parisian 'Grand Guignol' horror plays - dramas that deal with macabre subjects and often graphic violence. So, prepare for lots of eye-gouging, throat-slashing and acid-throwing. Stephanie Kaye visits the bloodied and embattled troupe, and speaks with two Molotov members, Alex Zavistovich and Lucas Maloney."

THE STICKING PLACE Wins Best of the Fringe!
July 27, 2008: Proving definitively that there's no accounting for taste, Molotov Theatre Group's thrill-kill sexual bloodplay comedy "The Sticking Place" jumped right over all the sub-categories to win the audience Pick of the Fringe award for Best Overall at the Capital Fringe Festival. The announcement was made on July 26, at the conclusion of Fringe festivities.
Molotov Theatre Group is America’s second-oldest Grand Guignol theatre. The company won recognition as "Best Comedy" in the 2007 Capital Fringe Festival for its debut original production "For Boston."
"This is a particularly sweet F.U. to some pin-headed critics and dusty old-school theatre geeks who shat all over the show for being gratuitous, sophomoric and disappointing," said Molotov’s Producing Artistic Director Lucas Maloney. "From now on, those three words will be in our mission statement, and tattooed on our ass cheeks."
"We'll shed a few tears about failing to impress the increasingly irrelevant pilot fish on our particular brand of shark while we're polishing up our BEST OVERALL AWARD," said Maloney, adding, "an award which, by the way, we're going to keep right next to last year's award for BEST COMEDY. So suck it, wimps."
