DR3 Play: Mad Forest
Mad Forest
By Caryl Churchill
Directed by Ashley Malafronte
Stage Managed by Fiona Grand
Show Dates: Nov 1-4 @7pm; Nov 3 @ 4pm & 7pm
PPAS Black Box
Synopsis: This timely drama resulted from a trip to Romania. Developed with students from London’s Central School of Drama, this is an incisive portrait of a society in turmoil that focuses on two families to reveal what life is like under a totalitarian regime and what results when the regime collapses. The play’s brief scenes are almost cinematic in their presentation of events as seen by ordinary people trying to live in peace.
