Port Authority at Writer's Center

Conor McPherson's Port Authority premiered in the DC area when QTC produced it in 2009. It has not been staged locally in the 10 years since ... Don't miss this rare chance to see this masterpiece by one of Ireland's greatest playwrights, whose works include The Weir, The Seafarer and The Girl from the North Country. Port Authority is a tale of the lost loves and missed opportunities of three generations of Dublin men. Per New York Times' Ben Brantley, the play "is a haunting fugue on passive lives and loves that might have been... As in Mr. McPherson's best work, this play is steeped in deeper symmetry, rooted in the ineffable within the everyday." DC Theatre Scene's Ben Demers praised QTC's 2009 production of Port Authority as "well worth a trip to The Writer's Center in Bethesda for its stellar writing and three strong, complex performances... This story of love, loss, and the life unlived is theater at its most captivating." QTC's 2019 production of Port Authority will be directed by QTC Artistic Director Jack Sbarbori and feature Chris Stinson (Kevin), Matthew Vaky (Dermot), and Joseph Palka (Jo).
