Phoenix Theatre presents the world-premiere production of THE BODY by playwright Steve Moulds from November 2 through November 19.
While mom is away, Joe is determined to be the best dad ever for his stepdaughter Abby. But a giant crate appears on their doorstep, and Abby and Joe work to decipher its mysterious contents – a doll with no face, and an instruction manual with no words. The deeper they delve into this package, the more it threatens their family’s tenuous emotional equilibrium. Was this doll sent to strengthen their relationship? Or is it a harbinger of a more disturbing truth? Part domestic drama, part surreal thriller, THE BODY lives in that space between reality and dreams, where the things that haunt us most come from within.
