OUR WORLD and THE REWRITE
Cincinnati Playwrights Initiative
March 10
Aronoff Center Fifth Third Bank Theatre [Downtown]
Three related scenes — Bang, Bang; Aisle 3, Seat 7; Thoughts & Prayers — under the umbrella title OUR WORLD comprise the first part. The plays by Jim Flavin add up to tragedy emanating from our country’s besetting sin of greed.
The evening’s Part Two is Gray Shaw’s THE REWRITE, which is just what the title says it is. A playwright constantly tinkers with his work, frustrating his characters and pushing them toward comedic rebellion.
