ORANGE FLOWER WATER - RECAP

Thanks to all for making our second production, Craig Wright's Orange Flower Water the hottest show of the summer! We had an incredible audience turnout (including three sold-out performances), continued to build our donor base, and received some of the best reviews this year. Incredibly - and for the second time in a row! - NCTC closed a show "in the black". Take that, economic recession!

PIPELINE

Did you know that we have a monthly play reading? Did you know admission is free?Up next is Friedrich Durrenmatt's satiric drama The Physicists, directed by Hans Altwies and featuring the enormous talents of Anne Allgood, Russell Hodgkinson, Bradford Farwell, Emily Chisholm, Michael Patten, Jen Taylor and Peter Dylan O'Connor.

Often recognized as the most impressive and accessible work of this prolific Swiss writer's career, The Physicists is a provocative and darkly comic satire about life in modern times. Written in 1962 and surprisingly relevant today, the play deals with recent advances in science and nuclear technology.

Outlandishly theatrical...and with a strong dose of absurdity...The Physicists raises questions of scientific ethics and mankind's ability to handle its intellectual responsibilities.
