The City in the City in the City
The City in the City in the City by Matthew Capodicasa
A World Premiere
Directed by Matt Stabile
Executive Producers: Doreen & David Chemerow, Diane & John Dalsimer and the David Kimmel Foundation
Tess’s mother dies just before they are supposed to leave on a trip for the ancient city-state of Mastavia to retrieve a package left for them by Tess’s estranged father. Unwilling to give up the mission, Tess posts an ad online for a traveling companion with her mother’s exact name, and meets a new Laura, a mysterious woman eager to escape her life. This unlikely duo sets off on a journey to this strange city of doubles, mystifying bureaucracy, ancient graves, and a hidden world neither of them expected to encounter.
Theatre Lab is beyond excited to welcome award-winning playwright, Matthew Capodicasa, to our ever-growing network of playwrights with this world premiere! Highly theatrical, inventive, and wildly entertaining, this stirring new play offers audiences the opportunity to join two performers, playing more than thirty characters, as they embark on the adventure of a lifetime!
