RECENT TRAGIC EVENTS features Ben Apple, Rachel Christianson, Maximillian Lapine, Matthew Nerber and Laura Berner Taylor.
RECENT TRAGIC EVENTS is a dark comedy set in Minneapolis on the evening of Sept. 12, 2001. Andrew, an awkward, yet endearing airport bookstore manager and Waverly, an attractive advertising executive, are meant to go on a blind-date. But as Waverly becomes increasingly distracted trying to reach her sister, a NYC resident who's been unaccounted for since 9/11, the date begins to unravel. Questions of fate versus free will, shocking coincidences and unexpected visits lead to one bizarre turn after another in this existential exploration.
Comments Director Georgette Verdin, "More than a play about 9/11, Recent Tragic Events is about what happens to us in the midst of tragedy, when in the blink of an eye, everything becomes an unfamiliar version of itself and we're left to reconcile the need to continue with our lives with the feeling that everything has come to a screeching halt."
