Plank Written by John Greiner-Ferris Directed by Megan Schy Gleeson August 26 - September 16, 2017 Calderwood Pavilion at the Boston Center for the Arts Plank is the funny, thoughtful, irreverent, sometimes sad story about a woman who is happy and content, adrift on a plank of wood in the middle of the ocean. Then she’s “rescued.” Plank addresses some of the most important issues of our time including climate change, refugees, the TSA, Sponge Bob, and how certain political parties resemble swarms of killer bees. Plank is for anyone who seeks intelligent, compelling stories that push the boundaries of theater.
