A Pot of Basil, or, Thank You For Being a Friend

A New York writer goes buggy at home during the 2020 Covid lockdown—with only a talking cockroach, Marie Antoinette, a basil plant and reruns of The Golden Girls to keep her company—in Heather Jeanne Violanti’s surreal comedy. The cast of six includes N. Marie Teagno, Lisa Whitten and Mary Lane Townsend; Jennifer Sandella directs the local premiere.
