"The Kipling Backpack Thief' play reading
Local playwright William is having a play reading of his new play, "The Kipling Backpack Thief" on Saturdays December 2 and 9 at 8 pm.
William is an alum of St. Stephens, Ransom and recent UM graduate, born and raised, and still residing in the Grove. "Recently I've finished my fellowship with the County's Playwright Development Program, and I'm doing a reading of my latest full length play," says William.
The play is inspired by true events. There will be two showings, the first show, December 2, will be staged at the Ransom Middle School library in Coconut Grove. "I'll be working with a mix of local professional and student actors," he says. The second show is at DPS, 1023 SW 25 Avenue on December 9.
The reading is directed by Amy Coker.
About the play:
Five friends, ten years, one unsolved crime. A pilfered backpack would be a fond memory for no one, but only a truly driven soul would stage a murder mystery party a decade later, and lay out this ultimatum to her friends: "ten years ago today, my backpack was stolen. And tonight, we find out which one of you did it." Inspired by true events, The Kipling Backpack Thief is a post-ironic mystery-comedy where the lowest stakes have never been higher. Written by William Hector. Directed by Amy Coker. Presented in collaboration with The South Florida Theater League and the Miami-Dade County Department of Cultural Affairs. Contains strong language; pigeons.
