Golden Thread Productions, the first American theatre company devoted to the Middle East, returns with New Threads 2022, its popular and free staged reading series. Audiences will have an opportunity to ask questions and engage the playwrights and the creative team in conversation after each reading. There are four staged readings in the series, which will take place Tuesdays, August 9, 16, 23 and 30 in a tour of three different San Francisco theatre venues. All readings are at 7pm and FREE. Seating is limited. Reservations are strongly recommended.
ABOUT THE PLAY
In the year 2080, the new normal involves taboos on pregnancy, car ownership, red meat, and suburban homes. It involves travel restrictions, a mixed-race majority, ongoing climate disasters, and constant uncertainty. But other than that, everything is the old normal. Except for Hoda’s experimental pregnancy. As Hoda gets ever-closer to her dream life, things don’t seem to be going as planned. An intense yet comedic experience, this near-futuristic play simulates the unexpected.
