New York New Playwright Festival: Gidion's Knot

Gidion's Knot, the second show of the festival, is written by recent Princess Grace Award recipient Johnna Adams. The play explores a mother and teacher conflict during a 90 minute conference and asks, "who is ultimately responsible for the actions of children?"
October 11th @ 7:30pm

Directed by Project Y's Co-Artistic Director Michole Biancosino, with Lisa Velten-Smith as the fierce mother and Amy Lynn Stewart as the well-intentioned teacher, this play is about two women's excruciating feelings of culpability over the bullying of an 11 year old boy.

Ms. Adams' play Sans Merciwas the 2008-2009 Reva Shiner Award winner, and was produced by the Bloomington Playwrights Project in October of 2008. Johnna's plays have been read or produced by theatres all over the country, including The Alliance Theatre Lab (Miami, FL), The New Group (New York, NY), and Flux Theatre Ensemble (New York, NY).
