“By turns lyrical, funny, surprising, tragic, Agreste (Drylands) achieves folkloric power.” - New Haven Review In the drylands of northeast Brazil, a kingdom of sand and thirst, Maria and Etevaldo fall in love across a fence. After living together as husband and wife for 22 years, the sanctity of their union gets invaded by the gossip and gibes of a conservative community. Four storytellers breathe life into this tale of love and loss, desire and death, ignorance and illumination. Based on real events, Newton Moreno’s stunning narrative shows that love can bloom even in the harshest climate. Directed and translated by Danilo Gambini (new Associate Artistic Dir, Studio Theatre) and featuring Raghad Almakhlouf, Irene Hamilton, Kate Kenworthy, Miss Kitty. Approx 75min
Content warning: bigotry, transphobia, arson.
Mosaic Theater Company will present the DC premiere of A Case for the Existence of God, a deeply moving and critically acclaimed play by MacArthur Genius Samuel D. Hunter. Directed by Danilo Gambini.
Tonight, at a celebration honoring outstanding theatre on stages across the Washington area, theatre artists, administrators, patrons, and special guests gathered at the ATLAS Performing Arts Center for Theatre Washington's announcement of nominees for the 40th Helen Hayes Awards.
Out in an arid, underpopulated northeastern Brazil, an unusual but not entirely inconceivable love story plays out, presented as a kind of morality lesson or at least a cautionary tale.
