String of Pearls

Horizon Theatre Company, Atlanta

About the Show

Spend the evening in the company of 27 funny, ambitious, sassy women whose paths unexpectedly crisscross when a strand of pearls enters their lives. With gentle humor and surprising candor, String of Pearls details the twists and turns in relationships between husband and wife, mother and daughter, two friends, a woman and her memories and other emotional connections. Playwright Michele Lowe intricately threads love, loss and destiny in this radiant and powerful Atlanta premiere. Megan Monaghan directs.

Four actresses play 27 wildly varied characters who covet, steal, bestow and misplace a lustrous string of pearls. The fated necklace changes the lives of all who come in contact with it and weaves the character’s lives together in a fascinating jumble.

There is a 3:00 p.m. matinee on Saturday, April 2.
