Solas Nua has announced casting for the American premiere of Marina Carr's Woman and Scarecrow, to play the Mead Theatre Lab at Flashpoint, May 7-31. Des Kennedy will direct.

Part horror story, part philosophical musing on life, the play starts and ends at the deathbed of an unnamed woman and the less than appealing characters who accompany her on her final journey, led by the Scarecrow, a woman who is more than she seems.

The cast will include Brian Hemmingsen (Him), Rena Cherry Brown (Auntie Ah), Nanna Ingvarsson (Scarecrow), and Jennifer Mendenhall (Woman).
