by Jihan Crowther
At a possibly haunted party, Wallis, the world’s worst hostess, attempts to entertain her guests—one of whom is hellbent on commandeering her home before the night is over. When unexpected secrets surface, the party takes a startling turn. Soon everyone is forced to choose sides as the chaos inside begins to reflect the turmoil brewing outside.
The next new play from the Boston Court Playwrights’ Group is one you won’t want to miss!
P.S. All of our 2021 Playwrights’ Group readings will be presented via Zoom. We know that most of us are no strangers to the platform, but feel free to email Help Desk at helpdesk@bostoncourtpasadena.org if you have any questions!
