Marvelous Fruit

A workshop of a new play by Masha Obolensky

Directed by Melia Bensussen

Starring Nancy E. Carroll and Will Lyman

Fran, quickly approaching 80, wakes up to her own life. With the help of “the interweb,” she finds a warehouse party and an underground sensation called a “miracle berry,” miraculous fruit that promises to make Tabasco sauce taste like donut glaze and pickles taste like watermelon. The berries spark a thousand tiny changes in the lives of Fran and her paranoid shut-in husband Jerry — but how do we know when change is worth the price? A play about aging, friendship, and the power of the mind, Marvelous Fruit asks if sourness can ever taste sweet.

This play runs around 90 minutes.
