Edgar & Annabel

(Preview October 30)
12th Avenue Arts (1620 12th Ave, Seattle)
Thursday - Saturday, 7:30pm
Conscientious recycling, karaoke parties, home cooked meals: Edgar and Annabel enjoy the perfect, suburban marriage. And they can keep it if no one finds out they’re actually Nick and Marianne. Two resistance fighters assume fake identities to avoid detection by an Orwellian government. With every moment of their lives literally scripted to support the subterfuge, the slightest surprise puts them and their whole organization at risk. When rewrites and improvisations throw their plans into chaos, they won’t know who they can trust—least of all each other. A darkly comedic spy thriller, Edgar & Annabel explores the lines between public and private, asking what freedoms we would sacrifice to stay free…

Special Note to All Agents-in-Training!
This riveting tale as the central exhibit in an evening of Agent Orientation. Audiences are invited to arrive early to complete several activities to teach them how to monitor for subversive elements in our society. The final piece of the training is the performance of Sam Holcroft’s crafty and captivating Edgar & Annabel. The experiential portion of this production builds on PWT’s history of crafting non-traditional storytelling events. While these puzzles are optional—and merely observing is perfectly allowed— PWT encourages everyone to arrive early to take advantage of the full experience.
