Dystopian Future in Drama at Malia Mills
Stephen J. Brantley and Chloe Dirksen will read "May 39th," a short play at the Malia Mills pop-up gallery on Saturday.
At the Malia Mills boutique on Main Street in East Hampton
A cooperative pop-up gallery at the Malia Mills swimsuit boutique on Main Street in East Hampton has energized the space, previously empty in the off-season, with art exhibitions and readings. Drama will be added to the mix on Saturday at 6:30 p.m. when Chloe Dirksen and J. Stephen Brantley perform a staged reading of “May 39th,” a 40-minute play by Callie Kimball.
The dark comedy is set in the year 3006, when Sam and Louise are yearning for human contact in a future in which technology has been legislated to replace touch. Nick Gregory will direct. The performance is free; donations for Journalists for Human Rights will be welcomed.
