Heisenberg, Actually

DOUBLE FEATURE | AUGUST 2 – 26, 2018 Does a person’s age affect the need for affection, love, and intimacy? Does gender? Does experience? These two plays are being produced together to spark a conversation as it relates to sex, desire, and the ages of man and woman (youth, middle-age, senior). People are shaped by past experiences. Together, these plays illustrate that in a thrilling way.

Amidst the bustle of a crowded London train station, she spots Alex, a 75-ish Irish butcher. In a brash moment she plants a kiss on his neck. This electric encounter thrusts these two strangers into a fascinating and unexpected entanglement. Written by Simon Stephens, the Tony Award-winning Playwright of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time). A One-Act Play

ACTUALLY By Anna Ziegler Directed by Katy Tye

Amber and Tom are fumbling to find their way at Princeton, as most Freshmen do, when they meet one night at a party that forever alters the course of their lives. They agree on the drinking, they agree on the attraction, but consent is foggy. With lyricism and wit, ACTUALLY investigates gender and race politics, our crippling desire to fit in, and the three sides to every story. A One-Act Play
