Great Ideas. Great Theatre.

November 3 – 6, 2011

Ideas into plays. Stories into theatre. Words on the page into skirmishes on the stage.

Want to see how it all comes to life? Wonder how a playwright builds a play? Crave a sneak peak at next year’’s best works before everyone else?

For 14 years, Brand:NEW has been a laboratory of writers, actors, directors and audiences, developing new works and discussing the process of making plays. During the first week of November, 5 of today’’s most exciting playwrights – along with 25 actors, 4 directors and a dozen stage managers, dramaturgs and assistants – will take over Hartford Stage’’s rehearsal halls to write, re-write, experiment and dream.

Will you join them?

Hartford Stage Artistic Director Darko Tresnjak discusses this year’s Brand:New festival works.
