Storm Theatre kicks off 20th season with historically-inspired world premiere.
Set in 1949, the play imagines the rumored love affair between famous novelist Mary McCarthy and young aspiring academic Paul de Man. Later in his life, de Man gained worldwide notoriety as the foremost American promoter of deconstruction, a concept inspired by German philosopher Martin Heidegger. The story exposes de Man’s hidden past in war-torn Belgium, where he was suspected as an embezzler and Nazi collaborator.
Deconstruction examines the nature of love, friendship, loss and the notions of subjective truth and relativism in morals.
PERFORMANCE SCHEDULE:
THURSDAY thru SATURDAY @ 7:30 PM
SUNDAY @ 2 PM
