LOVE, SEX, ANARCHY by Melissa Bell
The 29th Street Playwrights Collective in association with Tasty Monster Productions presents a staged reading of LOVE, SEX, ANARCHY by Melissa Bell.
Escaping a brutal childhood and the monotony of factory work in Russia, Emma Goldman arrives in New York City, ripe for the Anarchist philosophy. A fiery speaker, proponent of woman’s reproductive rights and practitioner of Free Love, she becomes caught up in a passionate affair with Ben Reitman, a womanizer and self-diagnosed sex addict. Can Emma reconcile her idealistic beliefs with her all too human emotional needs?
Directed by Luke Tudball. Featuring Heather Bagnall as Emma Goldman and a wonderful company including Beau Allen*, Clinton Brandhagen*, Alexandra Cremer*, Pamela Karp, David Hywel Baynes*, Kyle Minshew, Ras McCurdie, and Gina L. Grandi.
There will be an opportunity to meet the playwright, take part in a Q&A, and enjoy refreshments afterwards.
