The Rug

The Rug returns to the stage in the September Emerging Artist Festival at the Chain Theater. Starring Sam Besca and Balfour Clark, and directed by Lena Pepe, “The Rug,” by Electra Artemis mixes comedy and melancholy in the wake of a mother’s sudden death— under rather strange circumstances...

A favorite of the company, this carefully reworked script gained greater depth and character development thanks to the broad perspectives from its production team. As every piece benefits from reshaping, this iteration of The Rug was well served by the collaboration of writer, director, and cast.
