Edmonds Driftwood Players

Join us for a staged reading of An UnSafe Space written by Christopher Bailey and directed by Cindy Giese French. Part of the FIRST DRAFT staged reading series presented by the Edmonds Driftwood Players and Driftwood After Dark.

Kim and Kyle meet in an empty black box theater to rehearse the respective parts of Blanche DuBois and Stanley Kowalski in an upcoming production of “A Streetcar Named Desire.” They have been struggling to make their onstage relationship work and, with the help of their director, Josh, will be venturing into uncharted territory by trying the infamous Method approach. As their pain-filled backstories bleed into the roles each is playing (including Josh, who fills in for the part of Stella), everyone gets pushed out of their comfort zone. Ultimately, as the collapsing floors of identity and time plunge the threesome into a vortex of violence, their black box becomes a black hole.

Expected Run Time: 75-minutes, with no intermission

Playwright Feedback session is after the reading and it is optional to stay and participate.

*Content warning(s): Adult language, discussions of rape, sexual and physical violence, political provocations (including discussions of abortion), nudity (not performed)
