Lines

Lines is a tragedy about what artists surrender for permission to matter. The rules are simple: perform the scene you are given. Each story grows increasingly personal, increasingly cruel. After each performance, one actor is dismissed — they exit through a door known only as THE ROOM. No one returns. Each story is a test, each elimination is of moral consequence, until the final winner discovers that victory is not freedom, but employment: the role consumes the self. In this way, we see that excellence is often a way to choose the terms of your own suffering. The production is written by Euan Lathrop and Bellamy Brewster, directed by Bellamy Brewster, and produced by Andrea Sastoque.
