World Premiere of The Formula by Kathryn Chetkovich, directed by Ellen Maguire, Co-Production with Blissfield. "A wonderful new play" George Saunders, in the New Yorker: https://rb.gy/sjvpdq In The Formula, inspired by William Shakespeares A Midsummer Nights Dream, an anxious young researcher experimenting with the neuroscience of attraction struggles to maintain control when the untested formula she's been working on gets loose at her own wedding with spectacularly disastrous results. This whip-smart and moving new comedy swaps a lab-manufactured substance for Pucks love-in-idleness flower and asks: Is choosing the right person to marry even possible? The ensemble cast includes Allie Pratt (SCS's Pride and Prejudice) and Dion Graham (The Wire). The Formula is the inaugural project of Blissfield, director Ellen Maguire's NYC-based production company. Supported by a generous grant from the NEA.
