Making its world premiere at Garage Theater in Long Beach, Opaline (A Delirium For a Parched Planet) is Fengar Gael’s magical realism romance detective mystery play. It begins with the discovery of a body of a woman who had apparently had too much absinthe to drink. A forensic scientist’s investigation leads him to a distillery that produces a strange liquor that induces deliriums for its consumers, while an ancient Greek sorceress comes back to life and sets her sights on unleashing an unearthly plague on all mankind. Opaline has never been performed for the stage before, except for some staged readings at several playwright festivals all over the country. Be among the first to experience the surrealist events that take place in this one of a kind, award-winning production.
Thursdays-Saturdays, 8 p.m. Starts: March 3. Continues through April 2, 2016
