A GIRL IN A SCHOOL UNIFORM (WALKS INTO A BAR)
Falcon Theatre
Jan. 23-Feb. 7
[Newport]

Directed by Samantha Joy Weil

Cast: Kaitlin McCulloch as Bell & Ella Prather as Steph

Schoolgirl Steph walks into the seedy, empty bar where Bell works. Bell is dressed with everything short and low, and there are no longer any regulars at her bar. Whatever has happened to create this dystopian world remains a mystery, but we learn that there are frequent blackouts, people regularly go missing and women are being killed.

Steph is looking for her friend Charlotte, a girl who also at some point walked into Bell’s bar but then went missing. The relationship between Bell and Charlotte is unclear, as her conversations with Steph shift between truth, lies and fantasy. In this tense atmosphere, where there is a sense of growing fear, the play ” forces the audience to turn detective not just to track down the elusive Charlotte but also to find meaning itself” (The Guardian).

LEMONS LEMONS LEMONS LEMONS LEMONS
Falcon Theatre
Nov. 7-22
[Newport]

Directed by Liz Carmen

Cast: Natalie Hayslett as Bernadette & R. Graham Rogers as Oliver

The average person will speak 123,205,750 words in a lifetime. But what if there were a limit? Oliver and Bernadette are about to find out.

Lemons Lemons Lemons Lemons Lemons imagines a world where we’re forced to say less. It’s about what we say and how we say it; about the things we can only hear in the silence; about dead cats, activism, eye contact and lemons, lemons, lemons, lemons, lemons.  This play subtly confronts censorship by bringing us into the home of one couple confronted with extreme limits.
