Quotidian Theatre Company to Bring MAYTAG VIRGIN to Women's Voice Theater Festival
By: Tyler Peterson Sep. 18, 2015
This play marks the second time Cefaly has paired with Quotidian since the debut of her original work Mill Town Girls in 2007. Quotidian has long supported Cefaly's work, whose play The Gulf recently won the Samuel French Off-Off Broadway Short Play Festival and will be published and licensed by Samuel French later this year.
Cefaly's southern stories (The Gulf, Fin and Euba, Mill Town Girls, Maytag Virgin) are richly-layered and distilled and her directing style focuses on the intimate connections within her character-driven narratives. "I strive to create dialogue that is free from noise," said Cefaly. "Silence in storytelling is good. It's necessary. But, there is a misconception in theater these days that dialogue is the only way to propel the story. I'm trying to change that mindset, and tell the fullest story I can tell."
Maytag Virgin follows Alabama school teacher Lizzy Nash (Gillian Shelly) and her new neighbor Jack Key (Will Hardy) over the year following the tragic death of Lizzy's husband. The play explores the ideas of inertia and self-enlightenment and the bridge between the two.
Maytag Virgin opens October 2 at the Writer's Center in Bethesda, MD, and runs weekends through November 1.
