At 12th Avenue Arts (1620 12th Avenue, Seattle)
Nov 1 - 30, 2024

Conscientious recycling, karaoke parties, home cooked meals: Edgar and Annabel enjoy the perfect, middle-class marriage. And they can keep it if no one finds out they're actually Nick and Marianne, two resistance fighters who assume fake identities to avoid the detection of an Orwellian government. With every moment of their lives literally scripted to support the subterfuge, the slightest surprise puts them and their whole organization at risk. When rewrites and improvisations throw their plans into chaos, they wont know who they can trust least of all each other. A darkly comedic spy thriller, Edgar & Annabel explores the lines between public and private, asking what we would sacrifice to stay free.

Prior to performance of this riveting tale, the audience is invited to arrive early to participate in a collection of puzzles meant to train the next generation of Agents tasked with seeking out subversive elements. This training is available as early as 7:00pm, with cohorts of recruits allowed into the theatre roughly every ten minutes until the start of the show. While these puzzles are optional and merely observing is perfectly allowed, PWT encourages everyone to arrive early to take advantage of the full experience.

Starring Daniel Christensen, Monica Domena, Vincent Milay, Maddy Nibble, Dylan Smith, Zenaida Smith, and James Weidman.

Designed by: Robin Macartney, Amy LaZerte, Angelo Domitri, Max Sarkowsky, and Andrea Spraycar, with Justin Duffiance.
