The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time
With a touch that has proven time and again in past productions to be as golden as Midas’, Susi Damilano has reached yet another peak in her career directing an electrically charged, beautifully conceived, and thoroughly heartwarming The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time. With a cast that is to a person incredibly talented and a creative team that soars with their ingenuous and skilled touches galore, San Francisco Playhouse once again has a hit on its hands that probably will see weeks of sold-out performances as word spreads from the run’s initial, standing ovation audiences.
Shameless Hussy
Prolific and much-honored playwright, Lynne Kaufman, returns to her oft-favored site for premiering her works –San Francisco’s The Marsh — to splash on the intimate stage a searing, sensuous, tell-all play, Shameless Hussy, about the life and loves of Anaïs Nin as related by the author herself from the scorching words emblazoned on the pages of her diaries.
