Beirut: Lovers Endure as Plague Rages in Riveting Drama
The Little Theater (Los Angeles, CA)
Alan Bowne’s seminal and shocking play Beirut features two female leads in an alternate Lower Manhattan made a grim police state by an uncontrollable plague ravaging its citizens. After testing positive for the disease, Torch finds herself imprisoned and quarantined, biding her time in a filthy basement apartment. Her grim routine is broken when Blue, her lover from “pre-virus” life, slips past the Lesion Patrol and comes to her rescue. While overjoyed by her arrival, Torch is also deeply conflicted. The uninfected Blue risks far more than just her health by sneaking into the quarantine zone. The triple threat of infection, exposure and death electrifies this already exciting love story staged by The Little Theater.
