WHAT IS IT ABOUT?

"Not since Circle Repertory have we seen playwrights in New York forging a home for each other." - 2005 Obie Citation

In Gary Winter's haunting and darkly humorous new play, At Said, a mother, Sybil, writes out the experiences of her childhood spent under an oppressive regime, trying to convey her story to her daughter Darra. Set in a tenement that might be Brooklyn but could be anywhere, the mother and daughter negotiate the treacherous waters of memory, history and family. As Darra's boyfriend plays Baby Doc in the tenement hallways and a mysterious super, Mr. Carlos, lurks nearby, Darra's world spirals into nightmare.

Directed Tim Farrell, At Said features Lia Aprile, Gilbert Cruz, Marissa Echeverria, Vedant Gokhale, and Anita Hollander. The set design is by Sue Rees, the costume design is by Meghan Healey, the sound design is by Jody Elff and the lighting design is by Andrew Hill. Mariana Newhard is Producer for P#4 and Maria Goyanes is Supervising Producer for 13P.

13P (Thirteen Playwrights, Inc.) is a collective of playwrights that realizes full productions of new plays. The plan is to produce 13 plays, one by each member of the group, who serves as the company's artistic director during the production of his or her play. 13P is Sheila Callaghan, Erin Courtney, Madeleine George, Rob Handel, Ann Marie Healy, Julia Jarcho, Young Jean Lee, Winter Miller, Sarah Ruhl, Kate E. Ryan, Lucy Thurber, Anne Washburn, and Gary Winter.

WHAT ARE CRITICS SAYING?

Memory and history collide in Gary Winter's At Said, an intriguing new play about the power of words to make sense of the past. Sybil (Anita Hollander) and her adult daughter Darra (Lia Aprile) live in a run-down tenement in an urban area where neither buses nor subway trains stop. They receive a monthly check, presumably welfare or unemployment, but neither woman works. Darra claims it's the distance she'd have to travel that keeps her at home, in addition to the fact that you need computer skills to get a job these days and she is completely inept in that area.

Their miserable existence changes when Darra's drug-pushing boyfriend Will (Vedant Gokhale) brings them a typewriter, which prom[...]
