One Flea Spare May 5, 2011

Eclipse Theatre Company presents 'One Flea Spare' by Naomi Wallace, directed by Anish Jethmalani. The 2011 Naomi Wallace season begins with one of her most captivating plays. Set in plague-ravaged 17th Century London, a wealthy couple is preparing to flee their home when a mysterious sailor and a young girl appear sneaking into their boarded up house. Now, quarantined together for 30 days, the only thing these strangers fear more than the Plague is each other. The definition of morality is up for grabs and survival may take many forms in this fiercely intense and humorous play from Naomi Wallace. Winner of the 1996 Susan Smith Blackburn Prize. Ensemble member and former Artistic Director Anish Jethmalani returns to direct this award winning piece. Jethmalani has previously directed the critically acclaimed and award winning productions of Rebecca Gilman's 'Spinning into Butter' in 2006 and 'Blue Surge' in 2009 for Eclipse in addition to the 2005 Jeff Award winning production of 'The Masrayana' for Rasaka Theatre Company.
