National New Play Network Rolling World Premiere
Artistic Director Hayes returns to direct the National New Play Network “rolling” world premiere of Zayd Dohrn’s wickedly wise SICK in March 2009.
SICK is an uproarious look at a family of germ-o-phobes who have severe allergies to everything from Cheez-Whiz and cleaning supplies to city air. As prisoners inside their vacuum-sealed home and garbed in non-allergic clothing they live each day in terror that a stray mold spore or chemical will sneak in. When Dad brings home one of his graduate students, the family’s fear crescendos -- with chaotic, comedic consequences.
Zayd Dohrn is definitely a hot young playwright to catch now. He is a Lila Acheson Wallace Playwriting Fellow at Juilliard and has garnered playwriting residencies at Alchemy Theatre and the venerable Royal Court Theatre in London. His plays have been produced at Classic Stage, Alchemy, Boston Actor's Workshop, and Boston Playwrights Theatre. He won the IRNE Award for Best New Play, The Rita & Burton Goldberg Prize, and recently, won the Marin Theatre Co.’s Sky Cooper New American Play Prize for his Magic Forest Farm.
The National New Play Network (NNPN) selected SICK to participate in the CONTINUED LIFE OF NEW PLAYS FUND. Featured during NNPN's 2007 NATIONAL SHOWCASE OF NEW PLAYS, the play will have three successive “rolling” openings; Kitchen Dog Theater in Dallas and then New Jersey Rep, culminating with Southern Rep’s production.
