Irish Rep presents the world premiere of Leenya Rideout’s solo show, Wild Abandon, featuring original music by Leenya Rideout and the artwork of Lynn Rideout.
Playwright Leenya Rideout is a Broadway actress (Cabaret, Company, War Horse) musician, and songwriter focused on folk, rock, and Celtic music. Wild Abandon explores a complicated mother-daughter relationship in a world where women are just beginning to have their voices heard through art.
Leenya, an actor and musician, is figuratively and literally stuck. One night, she finds herself performing alone in a Long Island pub, separated by a snowstorm from the rest of her Irish rock band. Dusting off her original songs, she revisits stories of love, humor, and heartache which all seem to invoke thoughts of her mother, Lynn.
