Pittsburgh - Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa's imaginary folklore drives The Muckle Man.
Pittsburgh City Paper: "You will search the annals of folklore in vain for the Muckle Man, the mysterious title character of a play by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa. The name might be familiar from the clever, months-long City Theatre marketing campaign for its latest production, which plastered the title, unexplained, all over town. While The Muckle Man begins as a domestic drama about a marine biologist and his family coping with the death of a child, the figure who ruptures Aguirre-Sacasa's narrative by walking naked from the ocean onto the Newfoundland shore is, as a character, real enough. But mythically speaking, he's purely the playwright's brainchild."
