Brent Askari’s new play, set on an isolated island in Maine, explores the secrets , insecurities, and yearnings of a handful of quirky characters brought together by a murder investigation. DIRTY DEEDS DOWNEAST is an amusing and touching portrayal of small town life, the secrets the townsfolk keep, the iconoclastic barriers they erect around themselves, and the bumbling, yet uncannily accurate instincts of the island’s only policeman, who himself harbors a history of mental struggle and deep insecurity.
In his well-wrought new comedy/mystery/romance, homegrown playwright Brent Askari seeks to scratch the surface and look a little deeper into the soul of a seemingly placid island community off the coast of Maine.
Portland Stage will present Dirty Deeds Downeast written by local Maine playwright, Brent Askari on its mainstage this fall season. Enjoy a small town murder mystery comedy set off the the coast of Maine.

World premiere presentations like ANDY WARHOL IN IRAN offer Berkshire audiences a special opportunity to experience a work in progress, recognized for their potential. While I won’t term this as a must-see; it is most certainly a fine piece, well worth seeing. If not for the creative aspects touched upon above, it serves a fantastic look at nearly forgotten period in modern history and a strong reminder both that things are not always as they may at first appear; as well the notion that we are all far more alike than different.
