The Wash (fka In the End, we all go to Providence)

by Julia Jennings

Oh no! The pandemic has struck and we’re all trapped in a house together. And we’re all women. And some of us are related. And shoot, the next door neighbor is directing bad Shakespeare in his backyard and we can’t escape from it!! A birthday, a bugbite, who’s eating the house?? A play about talking to the sister you haven’t seen in seven years, what happens to things when we die, and whether or not you can kiss...

    The community of National Committee readers for the 47th Bay Area Playwrights Festival advanced The Wash as a Semi-Finalist at Playwrights Foundation. We leaned into the playful and beguiling nature of this script, and its central metaphor of infestation–which yielded delightful and effective moments of theatricality. We hope this play is considered for further development and investigation, and finds dedicated collaborators in its journey towards production.
