VIRGINIA DARE is a multidisciplinary, multicultural play; a 21st century Southern Gothic drama gone global. Set in a not-too-difficult-to-imagine near future in which the US has boots on the ground not only in Iraq and Afghanistan but Pakistan and even India, the play is a high stakes tale. An Appalachian brother and sister plot patricide against a backdrop of perpetual war and cosmic collisions. With a touch of magic realism and a
spike of Eastern religion, the plot focuses on two irreparably damaged working class siblings who are struggling to deal with memories of their violent childhood, a forgotten murder, an impending murder looming on the horizon, and even a trip to the afterlife. Startling images and verbal sparring send them both hurtling toward a dark decision.
WHAT: Reading of Virginia Dare featuring Pardon My Invasion actors Emily Gibson and Joe O’Brien, directed by Daniel Student
WHEN: Tuesday 1/24, 4pm-6pm.
WHERE: Plays & Players, 3rd floor Skinner Studio; 1714 Delancey Place (in Center City), Philadelphia, PA.
