Thingamajig Theatre Company is pleased to present ‘A Walk in the Woods’ at the Pagosa Springs Center for the Arts, running October 11 – 20, starring Tim Moore as ‘Andrey Botvinnik’ and Scott Morehead as ‘John Honeyman’.
Set against the backdrop of the Cold War, ‘A Walk in the Woods’ — written by playwright Lee Blessing — is an imagined version of real events with hints of the humor characteristic of Blessing’s work.
Between 1981 and 1984, American Paul Nitze and Russian Yuli Kvitsinsky met in the mountains along the Swiss and French border for unofficial negotiations to limit the nuclear weapons arsenals in the United States and the Soviet Union. What followed was a political and diplomatic back and forth as both countries attempted to save face and emerge as dominant.
Blessing’s two-man play is a sharp, engaging look at what might have transpired during those secret meetings in the woods.
The play was nominated for the 1988 Tony Award , Play and Actor in a Play. It was also a finalist for the 1987 Pulitzer Prize for Drama.
Performance Dates:
October 11, 12, 13, 17, 18, 19 @7pm
