BRATTLEBORO-Swamped, a new play written and directed by Court Dorsey, makes its Brattleboro debut on Saturday and Sunday, Jan. 17 and 18, at 2 p.m. at the New England Youth Theatre (NEYT), 100 Flat St. It has played to sold-out houses in western Massachusetts.
The play is “a culture clash of red and blue state values,” says Dorsey. “It’s a healing saga, a cautionary tale. All told, it’s a story of personal contact, which may be the only road to reconciliation we have left.”
“This play pushes us to grapple with many of the coexisting and sometimes contradictory cultural issues of our time,” said Brattleboro co-producer and Westminster West resident Betsy Williams in a news release, “gender fluidity, control of our bodies, aging, competing relationship and personal needs, family loyalty versus political conscience.”
Tickets are $20 in advance and $25 at the door. Advance tickets may be purchased at bit.ly/848-swamped. For more information, see courtdorsey.com/events.
