Preview: Natasha, Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812 @ Ars Nova

The Debate Society's new play, Blood Play, will premiere at Bushwick Starr on October 3rd.  Written by Hanna Bos and Paul Thureen, Blood Play is described as "a darkly comic thriller of post-war verve and pre-adolescent disquiet...set in the tranquil Chicago suburb of Skokie in the early 1950's."

Given The Debate Society's attention to detail, expect a lush period feel along with a quirky point of view.  Blood Play runs through October 27th.  Buy tickets through September 19th and they are only $15 (regularly $18).
