Workshop: AThis new play gets a "live brainstorm" in the words of the Workhaus Collective. Marion McClinton directs the story about a woman who cuts herself off from society in hopes she can redefine herself on her own terms. This will be something more than a staged reading but less than a full production as the script will evolve through the process. As a result, Workhaus says that anyone who sees the play early on may return to a later performance for free. Just bring your program. The cast includes Terry Bellamy and Signe Harriday.
