Apt. 4D

The award-winning Beau Jest Moving Theatre returns to their roots and The Charlestown Working Theater, with their world premiere production of a gentle, new comedy, Apt. 4D. The physical theater ensemble creates a detailed world using movement, language, and a bare stage to evoke the epic hopes and fears three ordinary people experience when a mysterious woman moves in next door.

Meg the librarian, Hunter the filmmaker, and Avery the laid-off executive are brought together by chance and geography. All three reside at the Franklin Arms, a pre-war apartment building that has seen better days. The comfort of their solitude at home is in stark contrast to their uncomfortable proximity as neighbors. The arrival of a mysterious stranger in Apt 4D is the catalyst for a series of imagined and real adventures, that lead from the laundry and mailroom to the basement and the roof. Apt 4D is a quiet examination of the heroic quest to make it through the day.
