The Lady from Dubuque

Jo and Sam are having a party. As the evening wears and guests and hosts alike become less congenial, it becomes clear that the thrust and parry of chatter at this gathering isn’t completely frivolous. Something dark is at rest behind Jo’s biting humor. As the party breaks up and everyone seeks their own solace, an unexpected guest and her mysterious companion arrive. Will she bring Jo comfort? And are Jo and Sam ready to accept what this lady has to offer? Seattle Repertory Theatre mounts the long-awaited revival of this rarely produced stunner by the author of Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf and reunites the recent Broadway team (The Goat, or Who is Sylvia?) of playwright laureate Edward Albee and director David Esbjornson.
