Semifinalist for the 2014 National Playwrights conference at the Eugene O’Neill Theater Center.
Much Louder Than This
When an unusual sexual harassment claim between a female employee and her female boss catches the attention of the police and then the news media, it seems that everyone on the furthest fringe of the suit has an opinion. What begins as a volatile dispute between two women ripples outward to include the voices of men and women in ever-growing numbers, inciting soul-searching, debate, and loud pronouncements on politics, gender roles, and The War on Women. Based in the current US political climate and culled from interviews with more than 50 men and women from around the country, this world premiere play is sure to be raw, immediate, and breathtakingly honest. Much Louder Than This is a dialogue between one playwright, one performer, and one thousand voices.
Minneapolis-based theatre company Loudmouth Collective premiered the first workshop and reading of this new solo show, directed by Natalie Novacek and featuring Leigha Horton, in May of 2013.
