Cutting Ball Theater - Free For All

Atop snowy Nob Hill in “Soon” San Francisco, an indulgent soiree for the city's elite ushers in Earth's final frost. As the powers-that-be swill champagne and self-congratulate, have-nots Julie and John tussle for scraps of opportunity and, together, light a stalk of dynamite that may shape a new world order. Bay Area favorites Stacy Ross and Phil Wong spar in Megan Cohen’s Free For All: a bombastic and whimsical take on Strindberg’s Miss Julie, in a world premiere production helmed by Artistic Director Ariel Craft.
