MICRODRAMAS

Williams Theatre Department is excited to present an evening of five short plays, microdramas mentored by Robert Baker-White.

In Amy Herzog’s 508, two ex-lovers meet in the apartment they once shared on what would be their fifth anniversary for a settling of accounts. What could be a simple, five-minute exchange devolves into barbs and recriminations. Bridget and Leo can’t resist the pleasure and pain that comes from one last reckoning. Herzog wrestles with the question of what is the correct and authentic way to cope with heartbreak. 

Featuring Gigi Gamez and Olaide Adejobi.

Elizabeth Meriwether’s 90 Days centers on Elliott, who’s girlfriend Abby calls to check up on him.  Their short and funny staged phone call wanders from half-truths to awkward miscommunication, showing the tentative first steps towards fixing a relationship, including many tater tots and a failed excuse for a teapot. 

Featuring Peter Matsumoto and Harriet Weldon.
