Playwright Ariel Stess, known for her wildly unique plays that captivate and disturb, brings a new dramedy to The Tank that intertwines the lives of four women from different generations and social strata in New Mexico. Kara wakes up to find her husband and children missing. Twenty-year-old Emma runs away with a married man. Barbara’s ex-lover breaks into her home in the middle of the night. And the pipes in Miranda’s house burst.
Through a tapestry of internal monologues, KARA & EMMA & BARBARA & MIRANDA follows the journey of four women whose major life crises collide on Christmas Eve, leading them to accidentally help each other find a way out.
KARA & EMMA & BARBARA & MIRANDA is a participant in New Georges’ In Collaboration program, an artist service program and active partnership with artists in which New Georges helps steward artist-driven independent productions of new works we love.
Runtime: 90 minutes, no intermission
CONTENT WARNING: The play depicts a relationship between a 21-year-old woman and a man in his forties
