Or, takes place (mostly) during one night in the life of Aphra Behn, poet, spy, and soon to be first professional female playwright. Against a background of a long drawn-out war and a counter-culture of free love, cross-dressing, and pastoral lyricism, the 1660s look a lot like the 1960s in this neo-Restoration comedy.

Gruesome Playground Injuries by Rajiv Joseph

Directed by Lynn Lammers
April 13 - 29, 2018
trustArt Studios, 7885 Jackson Rd suite 1, Ann Arbor, MI 48103

Over the course of 30 years, the lives of Kayleen and Doug intersect at the most bizarre intervals, leading the two childhood friends to compare scars and the physical calamities that keep drawing them together.

General Auditions for the season are scheduled for October 4 and 6, 2017. More information is available at kickshawtheatre.org.
