ABOUT THE PLAY AND THE PRODUCTION



...London, 1665. In the midst of a terrifying and inexplicable epidemic that will ultimately kill over 20% of the city's population, a handful of residents struggle to respond to the cataclysm that threatens to engulf them. Heartbreaking, bitterly funny, and deeply moving, The Living celebrates the power of courage and compassion to combat a climate of overwhelming fear and darkness.

The Living will be performed in the Moore Theater on the following dates and times:

November 8-9, 15-16 @ 8:00 pm

November 10 & 17 @ 2 pm


The production will be directed by Professor Jamie Horton; lighting/set/costume designers will be Professors Dan Kotlowitz, Michael Ganio, and Laurie Churba, respectively. The production will be stage managed by Catherine Darragh '13.
