PRISCILLA by Edward Sturm

PRISCILLA was workshopped in December 2022 as part of the New Works Springboard series at Boston University. Later, in September 2023, PRISCILLA was staged in the Fringe Festival/Next Stage Workshop program. PRISCILLA was the first play written and directed by undergraduates to be performed in the Joan and Edgar Booth Theatre. Based on a single photograph of a 1988 denuclearization protest at the Nevada Test Site, the play explores how the literal fallout of ecological destruction seeps into our personal tragedies.
