MRS. GARBO to Have First US Reading at South Oxford Space
The performance will take place on March 30, 2025.
By: Chloe Rabinowitz Feb. 17, 2025
When Spanish double agent Juan Pujol (AKA Garbo) arrives in London to spearhead the allied Deception project, his wife, unable to speak the language & desperately homesick, has trouble settling in. When she threatens to sabotage him in order to go home, she sets off a chain of events that could have changed the face of history.
Based on recently de-classified MI6 National Archive papers, this comedy-drama is the true story of a woman sidelined in a man's world.
Playful Substance Writers’ Group member, Raphael Perahia has spent nearly six years researching and developing a unique, character driven stage play based on the high stakes lunacy of real people fighting for the survival of Western Civilization. After a successful public reading of Mrs. Garbo in London in 2022 Perahia and Playful Substance are teaming up to introduce this play to an American audience with a staged reading on March 30, 2025, 5:00 pm at LuEsther T. Mertz South Oxford Space - 138 South Oxford Street, Brooklyn, NY 11217
This special one night reading is directed by Dan Renkin and features a talented cast of Playful Substance regulars and newcomers. (Full cast will be announced late February)
