4615 THEATRE COMPANY KICKS OFF SEASON III WITH SCANDAL REP

Pinter’s Betrayal and Prebble’s Enron explore shared themes on a private and national scale

4615 Theatre’s venue-hopping third season begins in the Art Deco-style theatre at the Dance Loft on 14, with the Summer Scandal Repertory; a pair of wildly different plays that explore mistruth, illusion and memory on a public and private level. The rep runs August 9-September 8.

ENRON – DC Area Premiere – By Lucy PrebbleDirected by Jordan Friend August 9-September 1, 2019

2hrs and 15 min, with one intermission

Witness the true rise and fall of America’s most infamous company in this blisteringly funny satire of modern greed. Featuring a cast of 13 playing over 60 roles Lucy Prebble’s epic dark comedy is an absurd crime saga of Shakesperean proportions, complete with poetic profanity, musical numbers, and even a few velociraptors.

BETRAYAL
By Harold PinterDirected by Stevie Zimmerman August 16-September 8, 2019

80 min, with no intermission

4615’s acclaimed resident director Stevie Zimmerman returns to helm Pinter’s masterpiece, in which an extramarital affair is told from all three sides, and in reverse. Beginning in 1977 and ending in 1968, BETRAYAL makes us question the very nature of love and honesty, constantly making us doubt what we’ve just seen.

Performed at the Dance Loft on 14
