THE LANGUAGE ARCHIVE Ends Run at South Coast Rep, 3/25-4/25
The Language Archive, written by Julia Cho will end its run April 25 at the South Coast Repertory Theatre. Recipient of the Susan Smith Blackburn Prize, the show features Leo Marks, Betsy Brandt, Laura Heisler, Tony Amendola and Linda Gehringer.
The plot revolves around a linguist who has trouble with his most prized possession, words, as his marraige begins to come undone. The play was originally commissioned by Roundabout, who has granted SCR permission to host the premiere production.
Cho is the author of the successful 2007 play, The Piano Teacher, which also premiered at South Coast Repertory. The Piano Teacher shows how deeply war can affect those who face it. Cho also wrote Durango, which was featured on Charles McNulty's "Best of" list in 2007. Durango first played L.A.'s East West Players.
