About

When

Sat, Sep 12 at 7pm

Set in an NYC private school on the eve of 9/11, The Melon’s Cry is a retelling of the poem Goblin Market by Christina Rossetti. Two best friends cling to each other as they are sucked into the inexorable tragedy of sexual maturity and into the void of a post-ideological era. A fable of surrender—willing and unwilling.
