A Fringe-size remounting of Stacie Chaiken’s solo play about an archaeologist—a world-class scientist—at the top of her field, who is summoned to a dig in Israel, where everything she ever thought she knew shatters to bits, which is not so bad as it may sound.
What luck to have caught this very special theater artist in her courageous, fierce, tender and intelligent performance of The DIG.
“Moving and deeply satisfying … a seamless piece of work.”
— Neal Weaver, Stage Raw
A solo play by Stacie Chaiken
An American archaeologist is summoned to a dig in the ancient town of Jaffa. The Israelis found something that might change everything. She’s the only one who can tell them what it is. And her mother just died. And there’s a lizard in her bathtub.
The DIG had its Los Angeles Theatre Center premiere in the spring of 2016, directed by Pamela Berlin, with a set by Yael Pardess, video by Dimitry Kmelnitsky, lights by Matt Johns, sound by Tim Labor and projection design by Dmitry Kmelnitsky and Hsuan-Kuang , produced by Jose Luiz Valenzuela and the Latino Theater Company.
