“An astonishing new play by Madeleine George that whirls ancient myth, lesbian pulp, ecological thriller and The Real Housewives of Monmouth County into a perfect storm of timely tragicomedy.” – Jesse Green, The New York Times
About the play: In this Obie-winning comedy, Pulitzer Prize finalist Madeleine George pens a hilarious evisceration of the blind eye we all turn to climate change and the bacchanalian catharsis that awaits us, even in our own backyards. Meet Diane, a permaculture gardener dripping with butch charm. She’s got supernatural abilities owing to her true identity – the Greek god Dionysus- and she’s returned to the modern world to gather mortal followers and restore the Earth to its natural state. Where better to begin than with four housewives in a suburban cul-de-sac? “Hurricane Diane” is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French, Inc. www.concordtheatricals.com.
Recommended ages 14+. Content includes swearing, onstage intimacy and social drinking, suggestions of nudity, sexual references, and portrayal of climate change collapse. Please reach out to guildproducer@gmail.com if you have questions about content.
