Borderlands Theater Presents AGNES UNDER THE BIGTOP: A TALL TALE
by Aditi Brennan Kapil
Directed by Barclay Goldsmith
Recipient of the NEA’s 2009 Distinguished New Play Development Project
A National New Play Network (NNPN) Rolling World Premier: Borderlands Theater, Mixed Blood Theater (Minneapolis), and Long Warf Theater (New Haven)
Five vibrant souls redefine themselves in their new world against the subterranean rhythms of a subway train. Funny and powerful, this new play explores the intersecting lives of Agnes, a Liberian homecare worker, a Bulgarian ringmaster and his wife, an Indian call center escapee, and an itinerant, transit busker. Borderlands’ production of AGNES UNDER THE BIG TOP is part of a NNPN Rolling World Premier that includes productions at Mixed Blood Theater and Long Wharf Theater.
