Come Summer Play
AT BLACK LAKE
Opens Saturday. Five performances.
Happy Summer Every Body,
If you are NYC-bound rather than in some exotic (or not -- is it cool there?) other-place, here's a swimming-hole of a diversion: Dea Loher's At Black Lake. Have dipped the toe in to these murky, spine-tingle-(it's under there)-inducing waters these past few weeks and it's not what you might call fine, but come on in for a swim to the relief-rafts of a relentless cast (including frequent collaborator April Sweeney), a lithe, musical translation by our friend across the way, Daniel Brunet and marvelous design by Krista Smith who has made the Void out of thin air.
It is a play
It is a German play
V low on spf

Hope to see you there
And stay cool and dry if that's your thing
Yours in making,

THE BLURB:
It’s been four years since that night. Else and Johnny reunite with Cleo and Eddie at Black Lake. But when innocent assumptions become scalding questions, and every recollection a wounding taunt that promises a hidden clue, they wrestle with just how little they know about their children. Acclaimed German playwright Dea Loher weaves an eerie tale of uncertainty and distortion through small gestures of everyday life, the cost of relationships and the variability of memory.
