Hovey Players Stage Sarah Treem’s The How and The Why

Hovey Players produce a perfectly timed piece of theater in local premiere of The How and The Why.

Hailed “a smart, densely textured work about men and women, love and conflict, genes and destiny” by The New York Times, evolution and emotion collide in this thought-provoking and sharp play about science, family, and survival of the fittest. On the eve of a prestigious conference, Rachel, an up-and-coming evolutionary biologist played by actress Brooke Casanova of Boston wrestles for the truth with Zelda, an established leader in the field played by actress Margaret McCarty of Wakefield. This intimate play explores the difficult choices faced by women of every generation.

Playwright Sarah Treem is the Golden Globe winning writer and producer of Showtime’s The Affair. She also writes for House of Cards for Netflix, and is Writer/Producer on two acclaimed HBO series: In Treatment and Mark Wahlberg’s How To Make It In America. Her full-length plays include Empty Sky, Against the Wall, Mirror, Mirror, A Feminine Ending, Human Voices, When We Were Young and Unafraid, and Vienna’s Amazing.

The How and the Why runs from November 4-19.
