The Baby is fragile yet powerful. His tale of urban folklore connects his Romanian mother and his Nigerian father with colorful Americans in Pittsburgh, PA.
Zadravec’s prize-winning play about people from besieged corners of the globe, Honey Brown Eyes, brought her to national prominence. The Electric Baby reflects time she spent in Pittsburgh. Quantum unites her with director Daniella Topol, whose artistic start at Carnegie Mellon University and City Theatre preceded the impact she now makes across the country developing new plays.
