Main Street Theater is presenting the initial digital premiere of The Book of Magdalene by Caridad Svich, the first ever showing of her new work. The theater is not new to Svich's plays, however. In 2009, Main Street Theater presented the English-language premiere of Ms. Svich's The House of the Spirits, an adaptation of the novel of the same name by Isabel Allende.
The production was staged and filmed at Main Street Theater but will be available to view online FEBRUARY 11 - 21. Virtual tickets can be purchased online at MainStreetTheater.com. Tickets range from $25 - $54. Email boxoffice@mainstreettheater.com with any questions.
"In writing The Book of Magdalene, I wanted to explore the spiritual concept of grace and how it exists in the modern world. Set in a future now, as I like to call it, where much of what the world has gone through in recent times - de-industrialization, alienation, a dis-harmony with the environment, and the effects of late capitalism - are the memories that haunt the characters in this story. How can Magdalene - living on the outskirts of life, in a cocoon of hurt and loneliness - find a way forward? What kinds of emotional connections will reward and nourish her spirit and in turn those of the people around her? These questions and concerns informed the writing of the play." - Caridad Svich
