The Way West
Marin Theatre Company
397 Miller Ave. Mill Valley
The modern-day American dream comes under the microscope in Marin Theatre Company's West Coast premiere of Mona Mansour's funny and insightful play, The Way West. In a California town that's seen better days, a woman shares tales of death-defying pioneer crossings with her two squabbling adult daughters as she waits for her bankruptcy to come through. This hilarious and heartbreaking play about today's American family explores the mixed blessing of our great frontier spirit, which has fueled both self-delusion and survival. With song arrangements by Misner and Smith (Woody Guthrie's American Song), the award-winning The Way West settles in Mill Valley with a few updates from its world premiere at Chicago's Steppenwolf Theater Company.
