The Playshop Theatre’s 2022-2023 Season
A Doll’s House, Part 2
by Lucas Hnath and directed by Mark Cosdon
Performance dates: November 17–20, 2022
Fifteen years after slamming the door on her husband, children, and bourgeois life, Nora returns in a whirlwind of funny, determined and righteous anger to reclaim what is hers. Lucas Hnath’s “A Doll’s House, Part 2,” presented on Broadway in 2017, is a thoughtful and beautifully rendered contemporary play which asks the difficult question, “How much has really changed?”
Machinal
by Sophie Treadwell and directed by Rachel Nicole Hoey
Performance dates: March 30– April 2, 2023
Machinal is an episodic retelling that is loosely based on the murder trial and execution of Ruth Snyder. Through the character of Helen, we experience the push and pull of her world — the internal and external entrapment that she experiences.
