Theatre Review by Roy C. Dicks, January 4, 2019

( Fri., Jan. 4, 2019 - Sun., Jan. 20, 2019 )

Pure Life Theatre Company (formerly Sonorous Road Theatre), 3801 Hillsborough St., Suite 113, Raleigh, NC 27607

Program

This Doesn't End Well represents a new step for South Stream Productions as we present the world premiere of a collection of plays written and directed by co-founder and artistic director Brook North. A mix of dramatic and comic works about misfortune, these plays have gained national and international renown for inspiring rejection letters from many of the most prestigious 10-minute play competitions in the world.

Now, for the first time, South Stream Productions is bringing these plays together in one program for you. Building on the ethos of “buy local,” this is locally written, locally produced, and locally crafted artisanal theatre for the hipster age. Even if it isn't that good, you can be secure in the knowledge that fossil fuels were not wasted shipping in scripts or cast members from far flung places. This is theatre for you.

Notes

The cast will include Ben Apple, Katie Barrett, Louis Campbell, John Honeycutt, Julie Oliver, David Thomas, and Natalie Turgeon. Brook North will direct. South Stream Productions is operated by Brook North and John Honeycutt.
