You May Go Now at the 45th Street Theatre - Upstairs

The Babel Theatre Project presents You May Go Now, by Bekah Brunstetter, opening at the 45th Street Theatre - Upstairs on 9 Sep 2007, following previews from 6 Sep 2007 and running through to 29 Sep 2007.

You May Go Now: Dottie has trained Betty to be the perfect 1950s housewife; to cook the perfect pot roast, to bake a gorgeous seven-layer cake, to remove any stain. And tonight, Betty�s 18th birthday, it is time for Betty to go out into the world. Only Dottie has failed to mention that the year is 2007, that the world is a vast and complex place, and that there is reason she cannot abide being called 'Mother'. Ghosts from the past haunt the women and shatter their idyllic, if odd, existence. When a mysterious traveler is stranded at their home, he brings a revelation that forces Betty to choose between the love of her 'mother' and her freedom and sanity.

Directed by Geordie Broadwater, You May Go Now features Justin Blanchard, Ginger Eckert, Melinda Helfrich and Ben Vershbow.

Set design by Tristan Jeffers, with costumes by Jason Bishop and sound by Anthony Gabriele.
