Boston Playwrights' Theatre Presents Two Wives in India, 10/28

Boston Playwrights' Theatre presents Two Wives in India, written by Leslie Harrell Dillen and directed by M. Bevin O'Gara, from October 28 through November 21, 2010.

Becca and Mary Jo arrive in Delhi for the marriage of Emily, their daughter and stepdaughter, respectively. Becca and Mary Jo may have had the same husband, but they share little else in common - one is an interior designer, the other a writer of romance novels. And now Emily's marriage to Indian expatriate Jaskanvar puts an emotional strain on the two women as they deal with their own culture shock and the death of Emily's father Sam.

Directed by M. Bevin O'Gara and featuring Asa Bhuiyan, Amelia Broome*, Karen MacDonald*, Ben Martin and Robert Saoud*, Two Wives in India sets the scene for a clash of cultures and a collision of the wives even as the mysteries of India weave their healing magic.
