Quest brings Gidion's Knot fresh from Scotland to Nevada County! September 13-28, 2014 6 performances only - Seating is VERY limited Quest Theaterworks was given the privilege of presenting the first performance outside of the United States of Gidion's Knot by Johnna Adams at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in August. We are proud to now present this incredible piece of theater to our hometown of a limited, 6 performance run in Nevada City. In the spirit of the Fringe Festival, we are performing this important piece of theater in an alternative venue. The Nevada County Superintendents Office has given us permission to perform Gidion's Knot at it's headquarters in Nevada City. This venue houses the people in our community who are the very people who must deal with issues this play explores and many others situations that profoundly affect our children and those who teach them. Performing this play at a location, served by dedicated professionals that are charged with the safekeeping our our society's education system is profound, poignant and appropriate.

This intense, epic, drama details a parent teacher-conference after the unthinkable happens. What is the line between free expression and appropriate social behaviour? This show will make you think, and want to hold your children a little closer. In reaction to one of the first school shootings in the U.S.A., playwright Johnna Adams explores the potential demise of creativity when self-expression is quashed by the thought police in the form of ill-equipped teachers suddenly made responsible for identifying and singling out dangerous youth while simultaneously spurring on inquisitive minds, self-expression and creative thought. Theater doesn't get more intense than this gripping and powerful meeting of two women well past the bounds of normalcy. Patrons of this all too possible altercation will leave the theater gasping for breath, searching for answers and torn between blaming society, parenting and schooling for the atrocities occurring at American schools. It's theater that makes you think, theater that makes you feel, theater that confronts the soul.. Gidion's Knot was produced in Los Angeles, San Francisco and New York for the first time in 2013
