In So Many Words
(four plays about language)

x

Written and performed by Margot Bordelon, Christopher Devine,
Brian Lobel and Arlene Malinowski, these four solo works explore the
complexities of language, love, and the (exhausting) search for companionship.

In So Many Words premiered at Live Bait Theater's 12th Annual
Fillet of Solo Festival in July 2007, and, after rave reviews,
Sold Out each of its six performances.
