WHO’S AFRAID OF VIRGINIA WOOLF? by Edward Albee; directed by Willo Hausman
One night. Four people. Two marriages. This classic American portrait of a tempest-tossed marriage returns to the Mendocino Theatre Company stage, a year after the playwright’s death. Gut-wrenching and visceral, this seminal work shows that Albee’s genius is as powerful and relevant today as it was fifty years ago.
THE OPEN HOUSE by Will Eno; Directed by Kerel Rennacker
Described by the New York Times as “a Samuel Beckett for the Jon Stewart generation,” playwright Will Eno has created a witty, inventive, and darkly humorous comedy of dysfunctional family dynamics in which a house remains stable, while its inhabitants morph radically.
THE FLICK by Annie Baker; directed by Stephanie C. Cunningham
A 2014 Pulitzer Prize-winning drama, The Flick is a rich and daring feat of hyper-realism that follows three young employees of a dilapidated movie theatre. Small loves and small crimes become epic under Baker’s intensely-focused gaze as the play slowly and quietly explores issues of race, class, sexuality, capitalism, and technology.
