Transatlantic Love Affair returns to the Illusion in March 2025 with a new work:
Red and the Mother Wild!
Red and the Mother Wild
Conceived and Directed by Isabel Nelson
Created by the Ensemble: Jack Bechard, Mark Benzel, Amber Bjork, Peyton McCandless, Derek Lee Miller, Adelin Phelps*,
and Allison Vincent
Performances March 28-April 12
Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays at 7:30pm
Sundays at 2pm
There has always been something different about Red. Raised in a small mountain community, she is the child of everyone and no one at once, yet longs for something beyond the bounds of what she knows. Called by the woods, that one forbidden place, what will she find when she leaves the path created for her? Meanwhile, stories abound of another woman who also went astray, who wandered into the wilderness long ago…
Inspired by the themes and hidden corners of Red Riding Hood, and scored by the sounds of Appalachia, the piece weaves revisioning of TLA's 2011 Red Resurrected with new material developed as part of Illusion’s 2024 Fresh Ink series.
