As part of their Industry Night Reading, 100A Productions will present a reading of Richard Greenburg's The Violet Hour.
It’s April 1, 1919, and the young independent publisher John Pace Seavering is setting up his office: The most daunting task for John, an ambitious young publisher at the beginning of the 20th century, is choosing between publishing the work of a friend and the work of a lover. But suddenly, a mysterious machine appears and begins to spout unsettling news about the future. Unhappy with what destiny has dished out, John scrambles to make good and recreate the lives of his friends.
This new work is a comic fantasy about fate, ambition, and loyalty. This is a staged reading, not a full production.
