MCLA Theatre Department is honoring the nine-time Obie Award-winning Cuban-American playwright María Irene Fornés. Join in by experiencing her 1995 play The Summer in Gossensass.Two American actresses living in 1890s London sit surrounded by books, discussing a promising new playwright they’ve just heard about – Henrik Ibsen. His new play, HEDDA GABLER, is causing quite the stir in Munich and its main character sounds like no other they’ve seen. Their enthusiasm for the possibility of playing such a complicated and dare they say… unwomanly… woman evolves from fascination to obsession as they decide to mount the first English language version of the play, culminating in an expressionist, phantasmagoria dream ballet version of the Ibsen classic.
