Join McCarter and Princeton Public Library for a free behind-the-scenes conversation about the mysterious and compelling season opener, Bulrusher by Eisa Davis. Associate Artistic Director Nicole A. Watson will be joined by Dramaturg Faye M. Price and Sound Designer Kate Marvin to share the joys and challenges of mounting this unique coming-of-age story, which is set in 1955 in the rural California town of Booneville and features the historical coded language of its residents called Boontling. Watson will also talk about her research road trip to Mendocino County and discuss the choices she and her design team made to create the world of the play, including its immersive visual and aural landscapes. The conversation will be moderated by McCarter Artistic Engagement Manager Paula Alekson and will include a Q&A with the audience.
