Native Gardens at Eagle Theatre

Cultures clash in this brilliant new flower-flinging romp, turning well-intentioned neighbors into feuding enemies. Pablo, a rising attorney, and doctoral candidate Tania, his very pregnant wife, have just purchased a home in a historic neighborhood next to Frank and Virginia, a well-established D.C. couple with a prize-worthy English garden. But a disagreement over the property line that separates their backyards soon spirals into an all-out war of taste, class, and gardening. Chockfull of pep and poignancy, Mexican-American playwright Karen Zacaras pushes the boundaries and shatters biases one laugh at a time in Eagle Theatres rendition of this shear-sharp modern comedy.
