New Plays! The Next Generation! One Night Only!
Berkshire Playwrights Lab’s 2008 Season
July 16th at 8:00 pm at the Mahaiwe Performing Arts Center
Great Barrington, MA — Wednesday, July 16th at 8:00 pm, at the Mahaiwe Performing Arts Center, the Berkshire Playwrights Lab continues its premiere season of presenting staged readings of exciting new plays with Eggs In A Basket by the outstanding “next generation” playwright Daria Polatin. Polatin has had her work read and/or performed at New York Theatre Workshop, Naked Angels Lab, and The Ensemble Studio Theatre among others. She was a playwright in The Royal Court Theatre’s New York residency and nominated for the 2007 Wasserstein Prize. Eggs In A Basket was in the final round for the Princess Grace Award, 2007. Directing the reading is Evan Cabnet, another “next generation” theatre artist, who works frequently in New York as well as at Williamstown Theatre Festival (his own adaptations of Ubu Roi and Salman Rushdie's Haroun and the Sea of Stories), and this past season, directed Donald Marguiles’ Shipwrecked! at the Long Wharf Theatre in New Haven.
Love and international espionage run amok in Eggs In A Basket, a farce about a British scientist who gets an Eastern European mail-order bride—and a lot more than he bargained for.
Admission is FREE and open to the public.
The Mahaiwe Performing Arts Center is located at 14 Castle Street, Great Barrington, MA. Tickets are available at the Box Office, 413-528-0100, and online.
Berkshire Playwrights Lab will present more staged readings of new plays at the Mahaiwe with free admission on July 30, August 13, and August 27.
The Berkshire Playwrights Lab 2008 Season is sponsored in part by the Egremont Inn, South Egremont, Massachusetts.
