Event Details
Cephalopod: A Play Below Sea Level is Northwestern student Kyle Warren's (C09) entry in the 13th Annual New York International Fringe Festival – Fringe NYC.
Mary, a broken housewife, unhinged by the loss of her child, the subsequent disintegration of her marriage to a squid scientist, and her frustrations with her pot-smoking Jewish mother. Struggling to stay afloat, Mary extends tentative tentacles to the late Princess Diana, who makes nightly appearances in Mary’s basement to challenge her to board games. Inked with humor and poetics, Cephalopod finds a backbone in the connection between these two women and the choppy seas of tragedy.
