Web Series Spotlight: The Concession

Viewers of the web series Classic Alice are very familiar with actress, writer and producer Kate Hackett, who played the title character in both seasons of the popular web series that focused on a modern day Alice, a college student making decisions according to the actions of characters in classic literature.

Next week, on June 7 (ironically or not the very day of the California primary), Kate will debut a new sketch called The Concession.

From Kate Hackett Productions, here is the press release for The Concession:

This turbulent election cycle has seen more than its share of concession speeches: the good, the bad, the absurd. In comedy sketch The Concession [link], Kate Hackett Productions presents a new variant: the very, very personal. Carl thinks he’s straightforwardly breaking up with the woman he’s dating, but she has other ideas, and she isn’t about to let him have the last word. If her relationship really has to be over, she’s at least going make him listen to very thorough concession speech.

“I love this piece and I think it’s so timely; we have politicians refusing to concede, and when they do it’s fairly ridiculous,” says writer and star Kate Hackett of her inspiration for The Concession. “I love the idea of someone giving a concession speech at the end of their relationship; it’s weird, it’s funny, and so topical.”

The Concession was written and produced by Kate Hackett (creator, writer, and star of Classic Alice) and directed by Josh Compton (Classic Alice). It stars Kate Hackett along with Brendan Bradley of Pemberley Digital’s Frankenstein M.D.

You can check out The Concession here, starring on June 7 at 9 AM.
