Tragedy: A Tragedy
Arts + Literature Laboratory 111 S. Livingston St., Madison, Wisconsin 53703
ALL presents a staged reading of rising Brooklyn playwright Will Eno’s absurdist look at the news of the evening — or possible lack thereof — using the conventions followed by local broadcasters everywhere. Seating is limited and reservations are recommended at enotragedyjan28@gmail.com.
press release: ALL is proud to present Tragedy: A Tragedy, Will Eno’s disturbing and inspiring depiction of the human condition. Presented in the form of a local television newscast, the one-act play uses details of everyday life to unsettle us, then reassure us of humanity’s resilience.
Directed by Suzan Kurry, the all-star cast features Autumn Shiley, Carl Cawthorne, Edric Johnson, Patrick O’Hara, Martha E. White, and Sean Langenecker.
Admission for this event is free. Donations for the performers are suggested.
