World Premiere!

Ensemble member Brett Neveu, the playwright who brought you last season’s hit production of The Earl, launches his newest comedy at A Red Orchid. In a basement apartment in a rotten part of town, Glynn struggles to focus on his writing career. His friend Patrick flocks to the subterranean lair to escape the paralyzing fear he encounters when he ventures outside – a world controlled by roving street criminals and telephone scammers. But when everything they fear encroaches upon the sanctuary, the shut-ins must confront their dark suppositions about a world that is made both scarier and funnier by their avoidance of it. The Meek combines Neveu’s distinctively elusive dialogue and eccentric characters in a hilarious story about self-imprisoned urbanites seeking the will to escape. Newcomer Brennan Parks leads an all-ensemble cast in this landmark world premiere.
