Alley Stage Reading Series: Deanna Strasse’s “Write You Down”
October 1 @ 3:00 pm - 6:00 pm
About the Play: “Write You Down” is a fantasy parable, centered around Maggie Rellmers, who lives in dreams. In her world, the full moon is constantly out, it’s always summer and the dashing English actor George Marx is in love with her. Here, she can hide and dream of Bavarian kings and scoff at the world that cannot grasp what it means to live. But Maggie is about to get her wake-up call if George has anything to say about it.
