Hey Playwright folks!
I just wanted to let you all know about the show I'm doing for the
Minnesota Fringe Festival in Minneapolis. It's called FLEE THIS PLACE
and is written and directed by Johannah Maynard, who is also acting in
the show.
FLEE THIS PLACE follows the tragic heroines Medea and Antigone into
the afterlife, where they are forced to relive their grief in
perpetuity. In their search for absolution, they identify a mutual
enemy - King Creon - a political sycophant who traded his humanity for
power at their expense. FLEE THIS PLACE is a reworking of classical
Greek tragedy for the modern world, using an exciting blend of
spectacle, movement, and original sound design, developed and
performed by an ensemble of New York and Twin Cities actors.
