Westport Country Playhouse to Premiere Carly Mensch's OBLIVION, 8/20-9/8
Westport Country Playhouse presents a world premiere about family and belonging by Carly Mensch, writer for Showtime's WEEDS and NURSE JACKIE.
In OBLIVION, sixteen-year-old Julie won't come clean about where she spent the past weekend, but it was not on the college recruiting trip she led her parents to believe. What could she possibly be hiding? Whatever her mother and father imagine, nothing can prepare them for the actual truth in this wise, funny play about the surprising choices we make, and the people we disappoint, when we forge our own way in life.
"OBLIVION is a stunning, thoughtful, gripping, and even funny play about a teenage girl, her best friend, and her two parents," says Mark Lamos, Westport Country Playhouse Artistic Director. "It's about the attempts by parents to come to grips with who their children really are as they grow up and begin to explore worlds over which the parents have zero control."
The show will run August 20 - September 8. Buy tickets online now or call The Playhouse Box Office at 203.227.4177
