Elena Zucker's THREAD Makes American Debut at 2016 New York International Fringe

By:

Thread makes its American debut at the 2016 New York International Fringe Festival following a successful run in Perth, Australia. This one-woman show was written for Australian actress Mischa Ipp by award-winning playwright Elena Zucker.

From NYC to Palestine, Mimi's world collapses with the inadvertent like of a long-lost love's dissident Facebook status. Identities unravel, as do the boundaries between fact and fiction, Jew and Arab, time and space.

Unresolved romance can ruin your life.

Actress Mischa Ipp works regularly on stage, film, TV and voiceovers. She won Best Actor for The Debt (PAC Screen Awards). NYC highlights include starring in the webseries Then That Happened, the feature film Set To Rise and working with PunchDrunk, The New Ohio Theater and audible.com.

Playwright/director Elena Zucker has worked with Mischa on multiple shows, including O Walter, My Walter (C.O.W, NYC; Goldberg Prize for Playwriting). Her work has been mounted in the U.S. and abroad, including Imaginary Prisons (Edinburgh Fringe Festival, Fringe First Nomination).

"I don't remember the last time I heard the English language used to its fullest and most erudite potential. Honey for the ears." - Craig Williams, Perth audience member.
