Of the woman came the beginning of sin and through her we all die
A world premiere presented October 3-26, 2019 at Normal Ave.
A world premiere by Lily Houghton, directed by Kylie M. Brown, and co-produced between myself and Normal Ave. Originally set to run until October 20th, the production was extended to October 26th.
In the basement of a Free People store, Bluebell, Sweet Pea, Pumpkin, and Bleeding Heart form allegiances, cast spells, and navigate femininity in the face of a political and economic climate that are constantly at odds with one another.
I produced a workshop of this play in December 2018 at Abrons Arts Center Underground Theater as part of the @Abrons Program. The play enjoyed two earlier workshops; the first by 999 productions in Gowanus, Brooklyn; the second as part of EST/Youngblood annual Bloodworks series.
