With just 10 days left to catch the engrossing performance that Newsday gives 4 stars, DISSONANCE is not to be missed. Written by BBC writer Damian Lanigan, Newsday says, "Lanigan's intelligent, music-lovers drama deserves a shot at a longer New York/London run." This multi-layered and riveting play featuring a gorgeous, young rock star who ruffles the feathers of an already conflicted string quartet, has kicked off Bay Street's 2010 Summer Season with a bang.
"DISSONANCE is a pleasure from beginning to end...if the next two plays in the series are anywhere near as good as this one, East End theatergoers are going to have a great summer," says the East Hampton Star. DISSONANCE continues with performances through June 27th.
To celebrate the success of DISSONANCE, Bay Street will be offering a limited number of two-fer tickets from Tuesday, June 22nd through Sunday, June 27th only. Theatergoers can purchase two tickets for the price of one on the day of the performance only starting at 2pm. Tickets must be purchased in person at the box office on the Long Wharf.
