The Fall/Out
A staged reading by Margery Kreitman
Direction and Dramaturgy by Jayne Wenger
Cultural Resource: Vidhu Singh
“She makes me gourmet lunches, invites me to her time share in Nassau, and gently bathes me. I’ve never felt so vulnerable.”
Writer/Performer Margery Kreitman, in her new comedic solo work, The Fall/Out, explores what happens after she fractures her hip in a reckless bicycle accident, has surgery, and is compelled to hire a home health aide to care for her. Questions of identity and trust arise and the lines of propriety begin to blur.
