Description

by Martyna Majok directed by Emilie Whelan Oakland Theater Project is thrilled to stage Bay Area Premiere of Martyna Majok’s 2018 Pulitzer Prize-winning and Tony-nominated play Cost of Living, directed by Emilie Whelan (A Streetcar Named Desire; Gary: A Sequel to Titus Andronicus). 

Cost of Living deftly challenges the typical perceptions of those living with disabilities and delves deep into the ways class, race, ethnicity, and wealth can create gulfs between people, even as they long for to connect. This intimate and sensitive play about people dealing with the ghosts of their past reveals the power of human tenderness in the midst of impossible circumstances.
