Playwrights On Park Reading Series Presents THE ANATOMY OF LOVE by Ted Malawer

Join Playhouse on Park in designating the Greater Hartford area as a premiere destination for the cultivation of innovative theatrical work! The Playwrights on Park Reading Series was created for this very purpose, and our next evening in this exciting series is Tuesday, January 23 at 7:30pm with Ted Malawer's The Anatomy of Love.

The Anatomy of Love is an explosive drama about two parents struggling over the gender transition of their seven-year-old daughter. Laura and Danny Bradford are called to Samantha's school by her teacher, Ms. Spencer, because of an emergency: Samantha has bitten another child. Accusations fly about the source of Samantha's behavior, but Ms. Spencer identifies that there may be a new chapter beginning in Samantha's life that will shake the Bradfords to the core.
