Written by Walt McGough - 2012 IRNE Nomination
Directed by Melanie Garber
The Factory Theatre
December 8 - 17, 2011
Priscilla was feeling down, until the aliens showed up. Now she's the most important person in the universe, and the fates of two planets rest on her. It hasn't made her feel much better, but at least it's something to do. A game-show savant, a dash of math, and a metric ton of bubble-wrap all come together in a dreamy, funny, melancholy look at the questions we ask, and the answers we need.
Playwright Walt McGough made a splash in Boston this fall with his play "The Farm," produced by Boston Playwrights' Theatre. The "taut and absorbing [piece]...signals that the 27-year-old McGough is well on his way to fulfilling the significant promise he’s shown for some time." -Don Aucoin, The Boston Globe
