Edward and Christine

Edward and Christine meet, fall in love, get married, procreate, get divorced. Only, they do it completely out of order and with talking bunnies, hungry statues, cannibals and a host of other witnesses and players both real and imagined.

This unique poem-play by Kenneth Koch is presented in a Zoom room for an intimate audience. Join Tia as she performs from her living room (with accidental special guests, son and cat? We’ll see!).

You’ll be invited to keep your cameras on…have a few of your own pre-gathered objects near…and embrace the delightful messiness of love, life, AND Zoom/living room theatre!

ABOUT THE ARTIST

Anna Lathrop (director; also a transdisciplinary artist and researcher with resting skepticism face), Deb Sivigny (designer; also a multidisciplinary artist, educator and octopus of ideas), and Tia Shearer Bassett (performer; also a writer, a most badass goober and a cancer survivor) are brilliant pals who spent five years on-and-off working on this beautiful avant-garde EPIC of a play. As Deb put it: “We worked together as a trio where ideas and roles overlapped and complemented each other. What a dream!”

NOTE: the 9/22 performance of this show has been canceled.
