Reading! New Play -- Untitled feminist rethinking of Salome

By Jan Levine Thal

Directed by Jan Levine Thal

Please come hear an early draft of a new play I'm writing, kindly hosted by Broom Street Theatre. Feedback optional but welcome

Readers include:
Joel Davidson, Bernice Hein, Paul Lorentz, Molly Maslin, Peggy Rosin, Bryan Royston, Brendon Smith, and Martha White.

In the Bible and subsequent re-tellings, Salome was a selfish, spoiled teenager and her mother was the villain of a story that involved a religious visionary, several deaths, and a beheading. My play has no religious figures and no beheading, though it does have violence. It is a drama, not a comedy, but the women are not the bad guys. If you want to know more, come to the reading.

Violence and swearing may make the reading inappropriate for some audiences.
