The Hotel Nepenthe – Written by John Kuntz; Directed by Alex Lonati; Presented by The Brown Box Theatre March 2-11 at Atlantic Wharf, 290 Congress St., Boston; March 15th at Ella Fitzgerald Center for Performing Arts at U of Maryland at Eastern Shore; March 16th at The Milton Theatre, 110 Union St., Milton, DE; and March 17-18 at the Ocean City Center for the Arts, Ocean City, MD.
If you weren’t able to catch Brown Box Theatre’s wildly entertaining production of John Kuntz’ The Hotel Nepenthe at the Atlantic Wharf space, perhaps you can escape the snow and drive to Maryland/Delaware area to catch its final four performances this weekend (see above). And if you’re a fan of absurd (but remarkably coherent) theater, it just might be worth the trip.
