NW Premiere
Broomstick
October 27 - November 23, 2015
Morrison Stage
By John Biguenet
Directed by Gemma Whelan
Starring Vana O’Brien
A fairytale-twisted yarn of delightful humor and spine-tingling suspense conjures a spooky seasonal experience unlike any other. With Vana O’Brien in a tour-de-force solo performance, an Appalachian witch tells a heartfelt and poetic tale of her long life from first love, to heartache, to the hair-raising vengeance she wreaks upon those who’ve crossed her.
Press
“O’Brien has great fun with this poison-apple granny of a role…”
“Biguenet’s play is lyrical, lush, and full of moments of sly humor and real pathos.”
“…wronged terribly over the years, and she does keep score. She holds court in a wonderfully cluttered, brambly set (nice job Kristeen Willis Crosser and crew) somewhere in the swampy deep south.”
