A forest rings with the sound of gunfire. Screams echo through corridors. At Claire’s choir rehearsal, something terrible happens…

David Greig’s daring new play is an exploration of community and its capacity to re-adjust. Questioning just how far forgiveness will stretch in the wake of tragedy, The Events brings to light our destructive but inescapable desire to fathom the unfathomable.

One of Britain’s most prolific and adventurous contemporary playwrights, David Greig has garnered international acclaim with recent work including Midsummer, Dunsinane, The Strange Undoing of Prudencia Hart and the new musical Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Premiering at the 2013 Edinburgh Fringe Festival, this production of his latest play by Actors’ Touring Company features a soaring soundtrack brought to life at each performance by a local choir.

Guthrie Theater Frequently Asked Questions FAQ

Guthrie Theater is at Dowling Studio, 818 South 2nd Street, Minneapolis, MN.

The Guthrie Theater opened on May 7, 1963, with a production of Hamlet directed by Sir Tyrone Guthrie, the theater’s founder. The idea for a different kind of theater sparked in 1959 during a series of conversations among Guthrie, an acclaimed theater director, and his two colleagues, Oliver Rea and Peter Zeisler, who were all disenchanted with Broadway. They envisioned a resident theater that would draw world-class artists to perform the classics with the highest professional standards. What began as a summer season of four productions supported by a minimal staff is now a complex organization that serves nearly 350,000 patrons and the Twin Cities community year-round.
