Review - Katie Roche

While several of New York's non-profit theatre companies have been pursuing the noble cause of creating more exposure for contemporary women playwrights, the Mint Theatre Company has been cornering the market on the dead ones.  Fourteen of the company's forty productions were scripted by women, a statistic that gains stature when you consider that they're reviving from a pool of material with a percentage of work by women far below that rate.  A prime case in point is the nearly forgotten Irish playwright Theresa Deevy, arguably the most famous female playwright of the first half of the 20th Century.

KATIE ROCHE Opens Tonight at the Mint Theater

Mint Theater (Jonathan Bank, Artistic Director) will extend the first-ever American Production of Katie Roche by Teresa Deevy until March 31st at their home (311 West 43rd Street). Opening Night is tonight, Monday, February 25th.
