Morlan Higgins, Julanne Chidi Hill, and Jacqueline Schultz will star in Fountain Theatre’s production of Athol Fugard’s newest play, The Blue Iris, to run August 18-September 16, with an opening set for August 24. Stephen Sachs will direct the work.
Set in the Karoo region of South Africa, the play focuses on a widowed farmer (Higgins) who sorts through the remains of his fire-ravaged farmhouse with his housekeeper (Hill) and finds an undamaged painting created by his deceased wife (Schultz).
The creative team includes Jeff McLaughlin (scenic design), Peter Bayne (sound design), Misty Carlisle (prop design), and JB Blanc (dialect coach).
