Rehearsal for Truth: Personal Speaker, Connetion/less

About the Show

Stage reading of two plays. Abigail Henkin’s “Personal Speaker” follows Leona, a copywriter at a search engine optimization company who is swept up in her coworkers’ excitement about a new technology that promises users an improvement in their love life and job performance. Yet as the technology’s grip on the office tightens, miscommunication reigns, spurring Leona and her coworkers to recover their voices and themselves.

In Cole Kordus’s “Connection/less,” strangers aboard a halted subway train are obliged to turn off their phones and start communicating with each other. With naturally flowing language and dexterously constructed scenes, the author applies the themes from Vaclav Havel’s plays to depict the estrangement of people in our current reality.

The 2021 Rehearsal for Truth Theater Festival brings engaging contemporary performances from Central Europe, the US, and South Africa from June 21 to June 30 at Manhattan’s Bohemian National Hall. In person.
