Then the playwright may choose to make changes based on the first reading and audience feedback. Audience members attending the initial reading are encouraged to join again for the second reading to see the new developments! More

The Figs by Doug Robinson
Nov 18 & 20 | MoCA Arlington | Virginia Square
The Figs is a very loose adaptation of a 19th century Bavarian folk tale of the same name. The Figs is a play about the nature of storytelling and the tellers of stories. With a Mad King obsessed with figs, a headstrong Princess in love with an innkeeper, a boy whose only friend is a swan, and a storyteller with many tricks up their sleeve, The Figs is a call for audiences to remember the wonder held inside a good story.
