Newton Nomadic Theater: No Exit POSTPONED
2020-03-27 19:30 - 21:30, 2020-03-28 19:30 - 21:30 (America/New_York) | Gregorian Oriental Rugs, 2284 Washington St, Newton Lower Falls, MA, 02462, United States
Something old, something new – Noni Lewis, one of our regular actors in recent years (Revolutionists, Colder Than Here, Dracula: the Bloody Truth) is in the director’s seat this time out, with her original take on a famous classic – No Exit. A slightly odd and inscrutable bellhop leads three different guests into the same hotel room. Their three lives and three stories unfold in disturbing, surprising, and at times very funny ways, because there is ‘no exit.’
Each week No Exit will move to a different, interesting, and unusual performance space. Like nomads the world over, Newton Nomadic Theater never settles in any place for long. After just a few performances, they get restless, pack up the camels and move on. Tickets are $25. Click here for the full list of dates and venues.
