Playwrights Foundation- The 35th Annual Bay Area Playwrights Festival, July 20-29, 2012

The 35th Annual Bay Area Playwrights Festival, July 20-29, 2012 is fast
approaching and early bird discounts have been extended through July 12th!!

For a closer look at what the Festival offers, let’s zoom in on Gordon Dahlquist. Emerging playwright and published novelist, his plays include Messalina, Delirium Paace andVortex Du Plaisir, and his novel, the NY Time bestseller The Glass Books of the Dream Eaters. Dahlquist’s Tea Party twists our perceptions of time and space to explore the shady, and very present political terror hovering on the edges of America’s very near future. Gordon explains in a recent blog post:…Tea Party is a…story of insurrection, civil unrest, sectarian violence, divided government, and foreign interference – which just happens to be set in Colorado.
