The Marsh Discovery Series Presents:
EATING PASTA OFF THE FLOOR
Written & Performed by Maria Grazia Affinito
Developed with & Directed by David Ford
Maria hopes a trip to her mom’s hometown in Italy will shed some light on their volatile relationship. Maybe singing arias at at full voice in the supermarket and offering to sell your daughter are just quaint Old World traditions? But even old friends in Italy are astonished when mom starts flinging pasta and bad poetry.
The Marsh Discovery Series
Each year, in addition to our main season runs, The Marsh presents several limited runs to showcase a wide range of exciting new work emerging from The Marsh community. These may include shows by emerging up-and-coming talent, established Marsh all-star performers experimenting with a unique story or concept, as well as people from all walks of life who have developed powerful stories at The Marsh. These are not ‘workshop runs’. Rather, they represent the culmination of a dedicated and lengthy creative process, and offer to the audience an opportunity to discover something new and different. Shows produced as part of The Marsh Discovery Series are limited runs with a maximum of 8 performances. So get your tickets now to discover some of the most exciting and unique work The Marsh has to offer.
