Twenty-five-year-old Nicolet Diana is known for winning the International Linguistica, a spelling competition as rigorous as the Olympics. But after a world famous linguist is found dead, Nicolet is put under house arrest, and is convinced someone is communicating with her through her local newspaper’s word-of-the-day segments. Concerned she may be a danger to herself, the police send in Magdalena, a hairstylist turned crisis counselor…who happens to be Nicolet’s ex-girlfriend.
3F/1M
A straight play about the real-life members of the anti-racist, anti-Vietnam war student activism group, The Weathermen (later renamed The Weather Underground.) Formed in the 60s, they were a militant organization consisting exclusively of rich white college students who felt powerless in the midst of all the violence in the world. Five of them hunkered down in an apartment in Greenwich Village and decided to build a bomb to plant at Fort Dix, a military base, in an act of protest against the world. However, since they were all academics who didn’t know what they were doing, the bomb accidentally detonated in the apartment, killing three of them. 18 West 11th Street takes us through the days leading up to the accidental detonation as these five twenty-somethings cluelessly build bombs.
