Providence Peeps- Check this out. 1:23 by Carson Kreitzer

1:23 by Carson Kreitzer

April 15-May 7

When Susan Smith appeared on television sets across the nation appealing for the safe return of her kidnapped children, no one could have imagined the true fate met by her sons Michael and Alexander. Six years later another mother - Andrea Yates - committed the same unthinkable crime, drowning her five young children in the bathtub. Carson Kreitzer's 1:23 is an unblinking look at the lives of these two notorious women and the ensuing media frenzies that captured the world's attention.
Don't miss the New England premiere of 1:23 by Carson Kreitzer directed by Perishable's Acting Artistic Director, Rachel Walshe.
Praise for Carson Kreitzer's work:
"sheer dazzling theatricality" - The Chicago Sun-Times

"Stunning and compelling...raw and bold, brutal and ironic, and full of nagging questions." - TimeOut New York


Join us on April 21 following the 7:30 performance for compelling conversation with Dr. Margaret Howard, Director of the Day Hospital at Women and Infants' Hospital - the country's only facility dedicated to treating women with postpartum depression. This discussion is made possible with the generous support of the Women's Fund of Rhode Island, the Rhode Island Council for the Humanities and is free to the public.

This is worth a look see, if you are in the Providence area.  

Perishable is always pushing the envelope, it's the best experimental theatre in the area....(Of course I'm a little biased having done loads of work there, but still.)
