In July of 2020, in the midst of the coronavirus crisis, 7 Towers staged a zoom production of Down From Heaven, the story of a wealthy family forced into quarantine by a mysterious pandemic and their former gardener, now a key player in the new security and surveillance forces that have gained power as the virus spread. The play, eerily predictive of what would befall the world in 2020, asks difficult questions about social divisions, privilege, and fear of the unknown.
I documente dthe process of this production in a "Note from the Field," published in Theatre Topics in July of 2021.
