NPA Reading - "The Right Story"
Monday, April 10th at 7:00pm | The Seattle Repertory Theatre
Sydney Andrews directs a reading of Phil Atlakson's new play, "The Right Story." An Iranian-born graduate student of Narrative Arts accuses her classics professor of being “homophobic” for advocating traditional story structure - a Union of Opposites - as a corrective to her personal life. A deep, personal relationship between them makes the clash more bitter, as it ignites a national media storm, that soon threatens campus security and the future of the Narrative Arts Program they both worked to create.
