Arena Stage presents Taffety Punk Theatre Company’s Reading of
Toys in the Attic
Directed by Lise Bruneau
Wednesday, January 25 at 8:00 p.m.
In the Arlene and Robert Kogod Cradle
Toys in the Attic is the last full-length original play that Hellman wrote, and it is said to be somewhat autobiographical. The play focuses on the Berniers sisters, two middle-aged spinsters living in New Orleans after the Great Depression. When their younger brother, Julian, unexpectedly returns home and they find out he has not only married, but has also mysteriously acquired a small fortune, the delicate power structure Carrie and Anna always maintained over him is upset, sending their lives into chaos. Under the direction of Lise Bruneau, who plays Sara Muller in Arena Stage’s upcoming production of Watch on the Rhine, the reading features Tonya Beckman, Audrey Bertaux, Daniel Crane, Kim Schraf and Craig Wallace.
