The Velocity of Autumn on June 1, 2016 in Mountain View, CA : TheatreWorks Silicon Valley closes its 2015/2016 season with the explosive new dramatic comedy, The Velocity of Autumn. This engaging play by Eric Cob le centers on an elderly artist in a volatile showdown with her family over where she'll spend her remaining years, as she barricades herself in her brownstone with enough homemade Molotov cocktails to blow the entire block sky-high. In a wry, spirited quest to “not go gently” into a retirement home, Alexandra battles both the fears of her family and the ravages of time, negotiating the terms of her future with a long-estranged son who has battles of his own. The Velocity of Autumn was declared “Wickedly funny and wonderfully touching” by Broadway World and “A tale that could resonate with a broad range of audiences as it touches on a sobering dilemma faced by families every day” by Variety. This production will be directed by Giovanna Sardelli.
