"HORSEDREAMS" extends!
Rattlestick Playwrights Theater is extending our world premiere of Dael Orlandersmith’s HORSEDREAMS, which will now close on December 17th. Gordon Edelstein has directed the production.
The play explores the breakdown of the family unit as a result of addiction. After his wife, Desiree, dies of an accidental overdose, Loman faces the harsh reality of raising their son, Luka, alone.
In addition to Orlandersmith, who plays the role of Mira, the cast includes Roxanna Hope (Desiree), Michael Laurence (Loman), and Matthew Schechter (Luka).
The creative team includes Takeshi Kata (scenic design), Kaye Voyce (costume design), Marcus Doshi (lighting design), and Ryan Rumery (sound design).
HORSEDREAMS is now playing through December 17th!
“Ms. Orlandersmith’s writing soars.”

“A brutal and relentless meditation on the destructive power of addiction, “HORSEDREAMS” pulls no punches and never lets up.”
– Corey Patrick, Edge New York
“Insightful…intense performances.”
– David Sheward, Backstage
“Rattlestick Playwrights Theater goes against the grain, encouraging and fostering risk. It remains a safe haven for the city’s most challenging plays from its bravest playwrights.”
– Corey Patrick, Edge New York
