A Parallelogram
OFF SALE
Jul 10 – Aug 18, 2013
West Coast Premiere
A time-twisting funhouse from the Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award®-winning author of Clybourne Park and the Tony Award-winning director of August: Osage County.
Past, present, and future collide for Bee, when strange new revelations rock her seemingly normal suburban life, taking us down the rabbit hole on a wildly unforgettable ride full of hairpin plot turns, riotously shifting realities, and havoc-wreaking time travel.
This bold new play will make you laugh, gasp and wonder how much control we truly have over our lives. Masterful storyteller Norris follows up his monster Taper hit Clybourne Park with a mind-scrambling comedy that gleefully distorts our perspective while posing profound questions about the choices we make.
“If you knew in advance exactly what was going to happen in your life, and how everything was going to turn out, and if you knew you couldn’t do anything to change it, would you still want to go on with your life?” —Bee, in A Parallelogram by Bruce Norris
