THE BOOK OF US, A New Play By Montana Playwright, Opens Next Week
The newly-formed Cadmium Company, composed of University of Montana students and alumni, will present a new play by local playwright and University of Wisconsin-Madison PhD student Joshua Kelly, "The Book of Us," to audiences this month.
"The Book of Us," directed by recent UM MFA graduate Natasha Conti, will be performed at 8 p.m. Thursday July 12, Friday July 13th, and Saturday July 14th on location at a private residence (disclosed upon ticket reservation).
Tickets are a suggested $5 donation at the door. Reservations are available by emailing cadmiumcompany@gmail.com. Audience discretion is advised as "The Book of Us" includes adult themes, language, and nudity. Seating is limited so audience members are encouraged to reserve seats early.
"The Book of Us" examines the relationship between a young writer, his steadfast boyfriend, and his intermittent girlfriend. On a whiskey-drenched Christmas Eve, Xavier's misery at Hadley's recent marriage of convenience to a much older man means that he, Jacob, and Hadley must reevaluate the nature of their triad. In a scathing and soulful exploration of modern attachment, "The Book of Us" invites us to consider how we position ourselves in the stories of those we love.
"The opportunity to do a boutique house show - and to bring Kelly's second full-length play to life - was one that couldn't be passed up," Conti said. "The intimate nature of a show on location means the audience members are literally inches away from the actors. There's no room for pretense, and that kind of theatre is fascinating."
