Am I Dangerous? by e.k. Doolin (Confluence Playright 2023)
October 9 – 26, 2024 @ 7:30 pm – Presented by Contraband Theater
Directed by Tress Kurzym, in conversation with Pericles
All of her life, sixteen-year-old Philoten has been told about dangerous women. Those who flaunt their bodies. Those who are different. Those who do not follow the rules. And she’s tried, so hard, not to be dangerous. But then, something really awful happens. A few things, actually, but one of them is unforgivable and forces her to ask the question of herself, Am I Dangerous? Am I Dangerous? springboards off ancient questing stories like Shakespeare’s Pericles, creating a brand-new fem-tagonist origin story with themes around coming of age, familial reconciliation, bodily autonomy, and cultivation of the native and natural biosphere. https://www.contrabandtheatre.org/
