Austin Playhouse proudly opens their Larry L. King Theatre Season with the world premiere production of Cyndi Williams’ new play, DUG UP. Audiences looking for a slightly spooky treat this season will enjoy the latest offering from award-winning local playwright, Cyndi Williams. Inspired by love, loss, and Tennessee Williams, the play creates an off-kilter world deep in Louisiana’s bayou country. In the middle of this nowhere land a once great old house has been converted into “a unique and romantic escape for couples seeking solitude in nature.” The inn is run by Dewitt and his aunt, the last living members of the Rutherford clan. As the play opens, Dewitt has taken to living like an animal in the courtyard, a sexy and mysterious guest who may have just killed her husband has checked in, and the bones Dewitt has carefully buried may be washing away. Also, his dead twin sister is coming home. DUG UP is directed by King Theatre Artistic Director, Lara Toner and features Jude Hickey, Jessie Tilton, and Liz Fisher. DUG UP contains adult language, mature content, copious consumption of hurricanes, and real animal bones.
