The Grey Golem

The Ballard Underground
2220 NW Market Street Seattle

The Grey Golem takes shots at the cliches of heroism, the culture of comic fandom and even comics legends like Frank Miller and Alan Moore. This new play is a hilarious hit job on the American comic book industry and the superhero industrial complex. Years ago, the world's greatest superhero, the Grey Golem, went into retirement believing he had finally rid his city of crime, once and for all. But when his butler is mysteriously murdered, the Golem once again dons the cape and cowl only to discover that the job of a superhero is much more complicated than he remembers. Inspired by the darker corners of the Batman mythos and the seemingly omnipresent superhero movies of current pop culture, The Grey Golem is truly a comedy of our time. This world premiere production flies into action at The Ballard Underground in Seattle.
