Primal Forces Presents AN ACCIDENT By Lydia Stryk
Primal Forces is proud to present the compelling drama, An Accident by Lydia Stryk at Empire Stage from May 2-May 27, 2018. Run down in a grocery store parking lot, a woman awakens weeks later in a mysterious altered state to find that the perpetrator has been continually at her side. Their interactions run the gamut from wary to warm; confrontational to erotically charged. The play is a fictionalized account of the recovery process the playwright endured after a serious accident, but it is also the drama she was denied-the coming to terms with the person who hit her.
BWW Review: THE GOOD GIRL at Primal Forces
If you miss (theater at) Arts Garage, we're back! We're back with a vengeance says Primal Forces producer Keith Garsson. Garsson established a reputation for bringing provocative, little known plays to Arts Garage in Delray Beach for a season and a half, before the theatre program was abruptly terminated by incoming, fledgling CEO Marjorie Waldo. Though he may have initially felt disappointed that he was not given enough time to establish his brand and develop a following at Arts Garage, Garsson simply regrouped and brought his vision and his company, Primal Forces, to Ft. Lauderdale.

It may be surprising and a little disappointing that one of the latest world premieres in the Women's Voices Theatre Festival is about a woman who fixates on a man to solve all her problems.
