About Woman in the Dark

Dangling between hilarity and terror, a young woman is trapped in an elevator above Grand Central Station during the Blackout of 2003. Elizabeth Alice Murray takes on multiple characters as she recounts her journey from panic and anxiety to resentment and optimistic mania as she befriends and alienates her elevator fellows and reflects upon the larger questions and possibilities of "being in the dark."

Woman in the Dark plays for three performances on the following schedule: Friday June 10th @ 6pm, Tuesday June 14th @ 4pm and Saturday June 18th @8pm at the Gene Frankel Theatre (24 Bond Street). The running time is 35 minutes. The show is performed as part of a double bill with Maggie Surovell's Becoming Emma Goldman.
