Fri Nov 6 – Sun Nov 15
The Ephron sisters build a life out of remembered clothes — the prom dress, the wedding dress, the bag that outlasted a marriage — in a piece written for a rotating cast who read it from stools rather than act it out.
Sat Jan 16 – Sun Jan 24
A woman waits out a tornado warning in her basement and talks — about insurance, luck, gambling and Hamlet — until it becomes clear what she is really sheltering from. Lauren Gunderson wrote it as a monologue and released it for benefit readings on gun violence.
Sat Mar 6 – Sun Mar 21
Ada Lovelace sees that Charles Babbage's calculating engine could work on more than numbers, and describes something like computing a century before it arrives. Lauren Gunderson writes her as a poet's daughter — Byron's — who chose mathematics instead. She died at thirty-six.
Sat May 8 – Sun May 23
The American women recruited as bilingual switchboard operators for the Signal Corps in the First World War, who ran the lines under fire and then spent sixty years fighting to be recognised as veterans. Peter Mills and Cara Reichel wrote the musical.
