AUDREY OR SORROW by Marina Carr
A story of badly-behaved ghosts. And a dangerous sea.
In an old house somewhere in Ireland, a young mother watches over her sleeping baby. But, in Marina Carr’s dark and dangerously funny new play, Audrey or Sorrow, nothing is as it seems.
Audrey or Sorrow will bring audiences on a shape-shifting, time-bending deep dive into a world of family secrets, unimaginable loss, ghosts behaving badly, and the endless pull of the sea.
The play exemplifies Marina Carr’s work to date: storytelling that tunnels deeply into the complicated contours of family dynamics, pushing the boundaries of love, power, and desire.
Join us for an afternoon with a new play read by some of DC's most talented performers, followed by a post-show discussion with Artistic Director of Theatre, Rex Daugherty. Chatting with audiences about the new scripts in the Play Reading Series is one of the most direct ways our community informs what shows we choose for full production. This is your invitation to be in the room where it happens!
