Calendar for TheatreWorks @ The Square 2085 Monroe Ave. February 7 - 23, 2020 New Moon Theatre Presents Quills, by Doug Wright Directed by Gene Elliott The Marquis de Sade is put in an asylum for his sadomasochistic pornographic writing. The asylum is overseen by the Abbe de Coulmier. After confiscating the Marquis' quills and paper, the Abbe is surprised to find lascivious new stories circulating in public. The source? A lusty young seamstress named Madeleine has been smuggling material out of the asylum. The Abbe is driven to increasingly desperate acts to silence the Marquis. Winner of an Obie Award. "…Doug Wright's raffish new comedy, part theater of the ridiculous, part comedy of manners and part Grand Guignol, successfully blends intentional archness, grotesque exaggeration and bold humor to create a theatrical experience of real wit." —NY Times. "Exuberant theater-making…gory, depraved, revolting and—uh-oh—sentimental. On top of all that, the play has something to say about censorship and what happens when you try to suppress art…Smirky, gross-out fun with a purpose. It's an amazing show." —Variety. "Cunningly structured and gorgeously written, with every phrase turned to a high, gleaming polish. Quills is a superb piece of writing." —Village Voice.

Angelo resolves to revive vigorous laws against sexual license, which have fallen into disuse. Under these laws a young gentleman, Claudio, is sentenced to death for having made his fiancé Juliet pregnant before their wedding ceremony. Claudio's sister Isabella, a novice nun, is persuaded by his friend Lucio to plead with Angelo for her brother's life. Angelo promises to free Claudio if Isabella will sleep with him. She refuses and tells her brother that she must keep her honor and he, therefore, must die. The duke has stayed in Vienna disguised as a friar observing the new regime and he now persuades Isabella to pretend to accede to Angelo's demands. Her place in Angelo's bed is secretly taken by Mariana, Angelo's former fiancé whom he deserted. After the event, Angelo betrays Isabella by trying to carry out Claudio's execution but his plans are foiled by the duke's intervention.
