This two-person drama concerns reunited criminals as they try to find a straight path in the world. After her release from prison, Lorraine heads straight to the only other person who she has felt close to in years: her former cellmate Marie. While locked up, the two shared everything, but on the outside, their friendship threatens to destroy their fragile freedom. Playwright Chloe Moss won the Susan Smith Blackburn Playwriting Prize in 2009 for This Wide Night. Seattle Public Theater's production is directed by Sheila Daniels and stars Emily Chisholm (The 13th of Paris, Tryst) and Christina Mastin as the ex-convicts. Learn More

Description
<p>By Christine Evans
Directed by Carmel O’Reilly</p>
<p>Lotte Jones, a doll repair expert, needs a vacation. She books herself on a cultural tour for singles and travels with them to modern-day Troy, where she finds more of a change of scene than she’d bargained for – she's in the midst of an attack by the Greek army threatening to destroy the last fragments of a mighty civilization.</p>
<p>Part contemporary drama, part homage to Euripides’ Trojan Women, Trojan Barbie recasts the legendary fall of the city of Troy against the vivid reality of modern warfare. Poetic, compassionate, and tinged with great warmth and humor, Trojan Barbie is an epic war story with a most unlikely heroine, who always looks on the bright side even as past and present collide about her.</p>
<p>Carmel O’Reilly, director of Sugan Theatre’s St. Nicholas that A.R.T. presented in 2000, joins the Company for the first time to direct this imaginative work.</p>
