In this lyrical and bittersweet love story, Alma and Eugene – united by an affection for the Monkees, Batman play-acting and running fast in the sticky Southern heat – grow from childhood playmates to teenage sweethearts to adult lovers. As they look to rise above generations of bitterness and struggle, will their love set them free? This Pulitzer Prize-nominated play, with its passionate and poetic language, explores whether prejudices of the past are destined to become the legacies of the future.

“A landmark in theatre history . . . enthralling . . . mind-altering." -The New York Times

By Sarah Ruhl Directed by Resident Acting Company Member Laura Gordon Co-Production with Actors Theatre of Louisville March 7 – April 22, 2012 Stiemke Studio

Hailed as “one of the most gifted and adventurous American playwrights” by The New York Times, Sarah Ruhl has created a smart, classy and touching comedy about marriage, intimacy and how electricity came along to fuse them. In a prim Victorian home, a gentleman doctor innocently invents a most extraordinary device for treating “hysteria.” As his wife listens in the next room, long dormant thoughts and feelings begin to stir deep within her. This beguiling play about love, longing, science and invention was a 2010 Tony Award^® Nominee for Best Play and a Pulitzer Prize finalist.

“Sometimes all it takes to get electricity going onstage is a little actual electricity!” -The New York Times
