Augury By David Mitchell Robinson Directed by Holly Twyford
Augury is an exploration of filial affection, the beauty of birds, and our capacity for change. The play focuses on Trevor, a young man whose deepest, dearest wish has come true: His mother has been institutionalized, giving him 24 hours to rob his family blind, change his name, and leave town forever.
David Mitchell Robinson’s goal to write a play about every place he’s ever lived has resulted in Carapace (Minneapolis), The Imaginary Music Critic Who Doesn’t Exist (Chicago), Animals Nobody Loves (Southeast Ohio), Olympic Village (Atlanta), and Terminals (airplanes). These and other plays have been produced, developed, or commissioned by the Alliance Theatre, Center Theatre Group, the O'Neill National Playwrights Conference, Primary Stages, the Kennedy Center for Performing Arts, Actor’s Express, Theater J, B Street Theatre, the Inkwell, Rep Stage, Field Trip Theatre, the Source Festival, and Ohio University, where he received his MFA. David is a past winner of the Kendeda Graduate Playwriting Competition and the Scott McPherson Playwriting Award. He has also been a nominee for the PoNY Fellowship, the Lanford Wilson Award, the Terrence McNally Award, and a Suzi Bass Award. www.davidmitchellrobinson.com
