As a part of their mission, Premiere Stages at Kean is committed to supporting emerging and regional playwrights by developing and producing new plays. One of the ways they do this is through their Premiere Play Festival. The Festival offers playwrights the opportunity to develop their work in an encouraging, focused environment through discussions, rehearsals, readings, workshops, and Equity productions. After reviewing several hundred submissions, this year's selection is The Mallard by Vincent Delaney.
A fact that children know but grownups often forget: if you've got a pair of buttons and a length of string, you have all it takes to make a face. A sweet face, too, friendly and approachable, since string is soft and pliable, and everybody likes to fasten and unfasten buttons. Stitched smiles and shiny plastic peepers win us over quick, and even dolls assembled for mean scraps of fabric and loose twine speak straight to our deepest pleasures and protective impulses. Textiles, it turns out, are tethered to the heart. They remind us of our first tactile experiences, and the small, sheltered, hopeful world we inhabit before we've even got words to attach to what we're seeing.
