Hurricane Diane

February 9 - 21, 2027

Written by Madeleine George
Directed by Sarah Kitz
Starring Margo MacDonald

Meet Diane, a permaculture gardener dripping with butch charm. She’s got supernatural abilities owing to her true identity - the Greek god Dionysus - and she’s returned to the modern world to gather mortal followers and restore the Earth to its natural state. Where better to begin than with four housewives in a suburban cul-de-sac? Pulitzer Prize-finalist Madeleine George pens a hilarious take-down of our willful ignorance in the face of climate change and the bacchanalian catharsis that awaits us, even in our own backyards.



“An astonishing new play … a perfect storm of timely tragicomedy.” – The New York Times

“Full of keen observation and profound human affection, the play both lifts us up and wrings us out.” – Vulture

This production is sponsored by generous friends.
