YANKEE TAVERN Comes to Santa Cruz Theater

A guy walks into a bar and orders two beers, one for himself and one for his absent buddy. Yes, it sounds like the set up for a joke, but with his chilling new play, YANKEE TAVERN, the prolific Steven Dietz has something darker and more sobering in mind, Dietz is a master of smart dialogue and wily storytelling.

He draws us in with characters that intrigue, but the stories they spin can do a number on our beliefs and leave us shattered. The American theatre has a rich tradition of barroom plays of which YANKEE TAVERN now becomes a part. Here's a toast to Dietz and his play which should work its way through the nation...with the staying power of a juicy conspiracy.
