Fri 3/28-Sun 4/13
Although it’s apparently had plenty of previews — it’s won a bunch of awards — Madison Wetzell’s new play The Body Play is having its world premiere at Cleveland Public Theatre in the next three weeks. Critics have commended it for its “physical comedy and verbal dexterity,” its “feminist instincts,” its “queer lenses on mind/body dualism and hilarious critiques of the medical industrial complex as well as wellness cultures.”
The synopsis tells us that “Amy, and Amy’s body, take us through a physically comedic journey through chronic illness, unresponsive medical personnel, and an unstable healthcare system while questioning the absurdity of being embodied and what it might mean to be a body.”
The play will be performed from Friday March 28 (with Saturday March 29 being the official opening with a post-show party with the cast) and runs through Sunday April 13.
