FOURTH NIGHT

heard first scene of a new play Amy Lynne Holland's creating about a horrific murder; then the next scene, fresh off the computer, of Kathy Coudle King's Campanieras, the piece exploring the dirty war in Uruquay through women prisoners preparing to rehearse The House of Bernarda Alba. A scene of a play Diane Rao first explored at last year's retreat, about a woman who's become the World Boggle Champion (it's a word game your reporter's never heard of) and will get to appear with Oprah as a result. And finally, a new section of Against the Dying of the Light, Geralyn Horton's play about the Raging Grannies.


Sarah Worthington, Peggy Williams, K Adamson, Jane Mowder, and Angela Palazzolo read Geralyn Horton's Against the Dying of the Light.

playwrights and readers kick up their heels, literally, after a day and evening of doing so metaphorically and creatively!


readers and playwrights gather, a bit clearer this time.
