‘The Nature Plays’ – Written by Patrick Gabridge; Directed by Courtney O’Connor. Mount Auburn Cemetery, 580 Mount Auburn Street, Cambridge. Through June 9

Mt. Auburn Cemetery and its rich, natural environment is a heaven-made set for playwright Patrick Gabridge’s spectacular first set of five site-specific one-act plays, collectively titled, “The Nature Plays.” Each ten-minute play touches on a topic germane to its particular setting in the 174-acre cemetery, which is also an arboretum and National Historic Landmark District. The plays run through June 9 with another series of five short plays, “The American Plays,” scheduled to run September 14-22.
