Two intelligent and deeply troubled
women—a Victorian governess and a modern historian—inhabit the same
house, 140 years apart. Struggling to find happiness in their
respective worlds, the lives of these women mysteriously converge
across the centuries.
Part modern
drama,
part Gothic romance, Abandonment
takes us on a wild ride through love
and loss, grief and joy, even time and space as parallel characters and
plot lines interweave, and eventually, brilliantly, collide.
Along the way, Abandonment wryly
addresses an array of modern subjects including Chaos Theory, Genetic
Design, Karma, and Animal Spiritualism. Crackling with wit, compelling
in design, electric in feel, and darkly funny, Abandonment premiered at
the Traverse Theatre Company, Edinburgh. AWT is pleased to present the
first non-New York staging in the U.S.
