En Garde Arts Presents Uncommon Voices
Miranda Rose Hall & A Play for the Living in a Time of Extinction
Directed by Jesse GreenS1 • E4 Apr 15, 2020
Miranda Rose Hall beautifully crafts a theatrical work that poignantly grapples with living in a time of extinction. Hall's plays have been presented at Lincoln Center as part of their LTC3 programming. The play features a stressed out dramaturge who has to step in for one of her actors when she has a family emergency. When faced with the prospect of her own existence among a litany of unfolding and seemingly existential environmental disasters, the dramaturge has a meltdown and shares it with the audience. This play was presented at En Garde Arts's Uncommon Voices and was workshopped this summer at the New York Theatre Workshop's residency series. Her play is based on a book entitled The Sixth Extinction: An Unnatural History by Elizabeth Kolbert.
