Jenna Langbaum's THE NIGHT OF BLUE AND SALT to Play FringeNYC

Jenna Langbaum is producing, directing and performing her play THE NIGHT OF BLUE AND SALT as part of this year's New York International Fringe Festival.

Langabum wrote the play for her senior thesis in Theatre at Hamilton College last year.

THE NIGHT OF BLUE AND SALT follows WIFE and MAN, a couple who's young love rusts into a seemingly hopeless fate. WIFE, full of magic and manic, longs to be a writer, often speaking in lines of Sylvia Plath and Virginia Woolf. MAN, full of knowledge and numbers becomes a surgeon, speaking mostly in medical jargon and statistics. When WIFE and MAN endure the tragedy of losing their baby girl, their lack of communication is ultimately their greatest downfall.

Written in the style of Theatre of the Absurd and riddled with dark humor, THE NIGHT OF BLUE AND SALT features WIFE gradually dismantling the shackles of domesticity and a loveless marriage to be the dramatic feminist ingenue she always longed to be.

The play will have five performances at the Iati Theatre in NY at the end of August:

8/13 @ 5:00 PM,
8/17 @ 2:00 PM,
8/20 @ 9:30 PM,
8/23 @ 7:15 PM,
8/26 @ 2:00 PM
