MUD

According to playwright Paula Vogel, there are only two stages for contemporary playwrights: before they’ve encountered Maria Irene Fornes and after. Now in her 80s, Maria Irene Fornes is one of the most innovative and provocative playwrights of our time. Fornes’ diverse body of work over the past five decades has earned countless awards. Her plays are a MUST SEE for anyone who loves unique, awe-inspiring theatre.

Her play MUD, for which she won an OBIE AWARD, is a raw and powerful piece of theatre – at once brutal and graphic and tender and poetic in its exploration of education, poverty, illness, self-empowerment, and toxic love.
