BLOOMINGTON, Ill. – An original play written by Illinois Wesleyan University Professor of Greek and Roman Studies Nancy Sultan has been selected to be produced at Heartland Theatre in Normal as a part of their annual 10-Minute Play Festival.
Sultan’s work, titled Pas de Deux, is one of eight finalists chosen from 165 submissions through three phases of blind judging, the last of which was judged by a published New York playwright. The theme for this year’s festival is “One Shoe.”
Pas de Deux is about the life of a homeless couple and how it is transformed into a wonderful fantasy world when the wife finds a discarded shoe. The performances of the piece will be at the festival, which will run through the weekends of May 31- June 17.
