The occupants who sit in the third car of the Northern Line have all lost things -- parents, partners, possibly themselves -- and are desperately hanging onto the hope of what life was, and could still yet be. Little do they know their criss-crossing travels through the heart of London will derail the perfection of their dreams and fuel an unexpected, though not wholly unpleasant, return to reality. Set in the not-too-distant past on one of the worlds' most revered system of underground transportation, Cut and Cover balance whimsy and weight in this funny, only a little bit tragic, romantic comedy.
About the Festival:
Each year, our New Works Advisory Board reads between 50 and 100 plays taken from the cumulative body of work of student playwrights who will be coming for the current summer session. These plays are ranked and vetted, and ten are selected for staged readings in collaboration with directors associated with our program--Certificate students, visiting faculty and guest artists.
These readings are presented free to the public, but there is limited seating. We also bring in more than a dozen guest responders who are active working theatre professionals from across the country. Many of our festival readings have gone on to be published, produced and won major awards. Come see tomorrow's stars today!
Our festival is presented in collaboration with Mill Mountain Theatre on their Waldron Stage.
