A WORLD WITHOUT HISTORY
By David Kornhaber '02
Directed by Karin Alexander '02
Produced by David Kornhaber
Loeb Experimental Theater
March 2-4
STORY: Gary Wiliams has been trying for ten years to forget the untimely death of his sister. But his troubling past is brought back to life when Richard White, a close friend of Gary's father, is found dead. Moving between realism, memory and fantasy, the play charts Gary's struggle to come to terms with grief and move on from his past. Joining Gary in this search for solace is Richard's daughter Juliet, who is suspected of her father's murder. Together they discover both the power and the futility of sharing one's darkest secrets in a world that refuses to let them forget.
BUZZ: Recipient of the American Repertory Theater's Phyllis Anderson Award for Playwriting, given biannually to the best dramatic work by a Harvard undergraduate or graduate student, A World Without History is Kornhaber's first full-length piece for the theater. Alexander, swept away after reading the play, encouraged Kornhaber to produce it, citing it as "a meaningful story about loss, grief and reconstructing our lives after traumatic experiences; universal and everlasting in its theme." This spring's debut is an important time to catch the show after such high accolades.
