Description
With the health and safety of performers and patrons of greatest importance, the MainStage Irving-Las Colinas Board of Directors has replaced the previously scheduled production of the large-cast play Inherit the Wind with Sarah Ruhl’s beautiful work Dear Elizabeth.
Directed by Michael Serrecchia and starring real-life married couple Kristin McCollum and Rob McCollum, the two-person, full-length play will be available for “on demand” streaming from Saturday, October 3 through Sunday, October 10.
Access codes are $19 (single) and $29 (group/family) and are on sale now at www.MainStageIrving.com. MainStage subscribers, sponsors and donors, as well as and Inherit the Wind single ticket buyers, will be contacted soon about how to secure their access codes to stream Dear Elizabeth.
Based on the compiled letters between poets Robert Lowell and Elizabeth Bishop, in Dear Elizabeth, Sarah Ruhl expresses the beauty in simple correspondence. Brought to life by reading Words in Air: The Complete Correspondence Between Elizabeth Bishop and Robert Lowell, Ruhl maps the relationship of the two poets from first meeting to an abbreviated affair and the turmoil of their lives in between.
