New Works Festival – Shattered Glass Project @ 18th & Union (Seattle – Central District)
Four new plays by women and non-binary playwrights and directors. Each day has 2 (Thursday), 3 (Friday & Saturday), or 4 (Sunday) plays in different combinations; see schedule for each day.
Plays:
The Uterine Files: Virginia Mary’s experiences echo through the lives of her descendants. Moving through time from 1863 to the present, this choreopoem’s stories of disruption demand an answer: what are they doing with our uteruses?
Carmilla: A camp-horror play based on the queer, female-centered, pre-Dracula vampire novella of the same name, introducing the mother of the modern monster and shattering the mold of male protagonists in horror.
On the Train: A timely indictment of medical racism as three women fight a hypocritical senator to secure the right for women to control and protect their own reproductive destinies.
Out of Time: Three different pairs of women deal with disaster and its aftermath, from the 1911 Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire to the attack on the World Trade Center on 9/11 and beyond.
