Rose of the World

Recommended by

  • Leah Plante-Wiener: Rose of the World

    Gorgeous, brutal, haunting. Ele has a profound talent for deploying language as both weapon of seduction and knife-sharp destruction. The realm of Rose of The World is an intoxicating one where the walls listen a little too close; where we are at the mercy of ambition, paranoia, envy, hunger, and every ghost you could imagine, but where the unsaid rules as most violent. Karina— whose introduction is unforgettable— is a masterclass in self-destruction. This is a play that lingers, in all of its ravaged beauty and ghoulishness.
