This brainy, 90-minute comedy about gardening and global warming blows into the Calderwood Pavilion starting August 27.by Alexa Criscitiello
The Huntington announces the cast and creative team of its first production of its 40th anniversary season, Hurricane Diane by Pulitzer Prize finalist Madeleine George and directed by Jenny Koons, running from August 27 to September 26, 2021 at The Huntington's Calderwood Pavilion at the BCA.
The first performance of Hurricane Diane on August 27 will mark The Huntington's return to live, in-person performances, 538 days since audiences were last welcomed to a Huntington performance.
In the suburbs of the Garden State, the Greek god Dionysus returns from the heavens in the guise of a lesbian landscaper named Diane who is described as a "butch charm factory." Hell-bent on reversing climate change and restoring earthly balance and order, Diane plots to seduce four suburban women into letting their passions, as well as their well-manicured lawns, run wild.
