Berkshire Theatre Group & New Neighborhood to Present 'I SAW MY NEIGHBOR'

Berkshire Theatre Group and Artistic Director/CEO, Kate Maguire, have announced the world premiere co-production with New Neighborhood I Saw My Neighbor On The Train and I Didn't Even Smile by Suzanne Heathcote and directed by Jackson Gay.

Artistic Director/CEO, Kate Maguire says, "We are teaming up with some of the most exciting voices in American Theatre, including director Jackson Gay, BTG artist Keira Naughton and playwright Suzanne Heathcote to present the world premiere, I Saw My Neighbor On The Train And I Didn't Even Smile. We are delighted to partner with New Neighborhood on this funny and insightful look on a very contemporary, dysfunctional American family."

I Saw My Neighbor On the Train and I Didn't Even Smile, a new play by Suzanne Heathcote, co-produced by New Neighborhood, features longtime BTG artist Keira Naughton, who most recently directed the world premiere of Cedars, starring her father James Naughton; Kathryn Gallagher, Linda Gehringer, Adam Langdon, Adam O'Byrne and Andrew Rothenberg.

This is Rebecca's life: she wakes up, eats a sensible breakfast, wraps herself in three layers, drives to the train station, commutes to her bookkeeping job in the city, watches the clock, goes home, cooks dinner for her domineering mother, watches TV, and falls asleep grieving for her dead dog. Every day is the same as the next until Rebecca's underachieving brother begs her to take care of her troubled niece-and she does what she always does-she lets it happen. In an unforgivingly bitter month, three generations of women with nothing in common, except a deeply buried ache, try to keep the cold away. Suzanne Heathcote's I Saw My Neighbor On the Train and Didn't Even Smile is a funny and poignant new play.

I Saw My Neighbor On the Train and I Didn't Even Smile runs from July 15 through August 15, at The Unicorn Theatre in Stockbridge, MA.
