Hurricane Diane at Trustus Theatre

Meet Diane, a permaculture gardener dripping with butch charm. She’s got supernatural identities owing to her true identity-the Greek god Dionysus-and she’s returned to the mortal world to gather followers and restore the earth to its natural state. Where better to begin than with four housewives in a suburban New Jersey cul-de-sac? In this Obie-winning comedy with a twist, Pulitzer Prize finalist Madeline George pens a hilarious evisceration of the blind eye we all turn to climate change and the bacchanalian catharsis that awaits us, even in our own backyards. Directed by Artistic Director Dewey Scott-Wiley, featuring Michelle Jacobs, Christine Hellman, Brittany Hammock, Jessica Fichter, and Sheldon Paschal as Diane.
