Swiss Stage to Present DOG PADDLE, 9/16

By:

Award-winning Swiss playwright Reto Finger's Dog Paddle returns to American shores after a successful premiere in Chicago, IL last winter. The staged reading is presented by Swiss Stage, a new initiative exploring Swiss contemporary drama, supported by swissnexBoston. The performance will be followed by a Q&A and reception with the cast and crew.

When Charlotte suddenly ends a long-term relationship with Robert, Robert moves down to the basement until he can find another place-and then he won't move out. Two years later, Charlotte is married to Johann and Robert has barricaded himself in. A cringe-worthy, dark comedy about the changing tide of emotion and the inelegant struggle against drowning.

The show runs Monday, September 16th at 7PM SWISSNEX BOSTON / CONSULATE OF SWITZERLAND 420 Broadway, Cambridge MA. Free Admission. Information & RSVP at http://www.swissnexboston.org/.

The show is written by Reto Finger Directed by Guy Ben-Aharon, and features Craig Mathers, Dakota Shepard, Nael Nacer, Phil Tayler, Rebecca Opstad.

ABOUT SWISS STAGE: Swiss Stage is an initiative supported by swissnexBoston to share and explore Swiss contemporary drama with American audiences.
