WEASEL
By Beth Graham
Cast size 12-18 actors (Running time 2 acts 130 minutes)
Alone, in her bedroom, Charlie, a struggling actor, tries to understand why she is unable to return to the stage. Is it stage fright or something far more sinister? The weasels of fear have been unleashed. The abyss yawns. Invisible wounds bleed afresh. Weasel is a large cast play about pursuing what you love, standing up to power, and the theatre.
