Freehold Alumni Reading Series

BI-MONTHLY ALUMNI READING SERIES

There is a truth about the importance of stories that is hard to reveal, and hard to admit. In Freehold classes, similarly, discovering "the you that you don't know" is our motto and constant endeavor. As Freehold expands in its new space with its electric new curriculum and faculty, this new series of readings that features Alumni aims to continue the mission of self-discovery outwardly to audiences as it has so successfully for over 25 years to established and emerging artists in Seattle.

The story begins on a ferry. A man in a ridiculous disguise notices a woman throwing overboard bottles that may or may not contain a confession of crimes committed. But, wait, that's not the beginning. Before the ferry is an interrogation --- the man is a detective investigating the death of the woman's son. He thinks she did it. Killed her own kid. But that can't be the beginning either...before the investigation, there must have been a murder and before the murder...what?

With themes of dreaming, memory, transformation, identity, and death, John Guare's fascinating script is surreally funny and darkly terrifying. The piece jumps through time and space among the living and the dead with songs and rhythmic dialogue, relationships that begged to be plumbed, and a tendency to raise as many questions as it answers.

Landscape of the Body is presented by special arrangement with Dramatists Play Service, Inc., New York.
