A drama set it that Detroit neighborhood has its world premiere next August at the Stratford Festival in Ontario, as the Freep reported Tuesday in a brief item. It's by Joanna McClelland Glass, who lived in Palmer Park during her 30s from 1968-73 while her husband chaired WSU's physics department. She staged her second and third plays, 'Trying' and 'Jewish Strawberries,' at campus workshops. The plot of her 12th drama sounds almost as provocative and stimulating as the countless forum discussions of similar issues. Stratford has a 3-sentence taste here. You can digest a meatier version adapted from summaries published whene she gave scene readings in Chicago and Washington in '05 and '06: quote:The entire play takes place between 6 and 7 Mile and Livernois and Woodward, Glass told the Freep (2nd item). Sounds worth a trip across the border, dontcha think? (Message edited by RealityCheck on November 08, 2007) | ||
