TREATY: A PLAY ABOUT HOW TO NOT BLOW UP THE PLANET
June 5th & 6th, Thursday & Friday, 7:30PM
After a chance meeting with a disarmament expert, playwright Chris Thorpe fell into the world of nuclear treaty negotiation and the ordinary people who are trying to achieve the extraordinary outcome of complete nuclear disarmament. Based on conversations with organizations and individuals involved in those negotiations, including ICAN, the Nobel Prize winning International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons, the play is partly a story about the people on either side of the nuclear debate and partly a conversation with the audience about how we find the space to talk about disarmament in our own lives. $25.
The Foundry. 2 Harris Street. West Stockbridge MA. 413.232.5222.
