Padua kicks off the 2020 season with a series of performances in June of Blackouts, written and directed by Murray Mednick. With Blackouts the celebrated avant-garde playwright and director brings his poetic gifts to bear on the Covid-19 crisis. Written and directed specifically for online live-stream viewing, Blackouts brings Mednick’s trademark streetwise lyricism and dry humor to bear on an infernal encounter with the health care system, American style. Explains Mednick, “Blackouts is a partially autobiographical account of a recent surreal hospital stay."
