Elif Bet: HALLOWEEN!

✨Welcome to Elif Bet✨ Attention all! We encourage you all to come in costume! The event will end by 9PM so you can attend all your Halloween parties after : ) About Elif Bet… 🪞 Every month, we're gathering the Elif community in a cozy space in NYC to hear a new play. We’re so excited to bring you a one-act by the wonderful Abigail Duclos — join us for a reading of “Honeysuckle”! Come along for friends, snacks, dancing, and, of course, the story! About the playwright… 🪞 Abigail Duclos is a NYC-based playwright, director, actress, and puppet designer whose stories laugh, cry, dance, and draw blood. A selection of past work includes Timon of Athens (Director, The Elif Collective), Greenhouse (Lead Writer and Actor, The Elif Collective), Blood Orange (Playwright, The Elif Collective), Honeysuckle (Playwright, Maker’s Ensemble), One Flea Spare (Darcy Snelgrave, Barnard College), Camp Cattywampus (Co-Playwright/Co-Director, The Columbia University Performing Arts League), Possession (Playwright/Co-Director, The Tank), and Teeth (Playwright, WKCR 89.9 FM). Abigail graduated from Barnard College with a double-major in English and theatre and a minor in German. She currently works at NYU.

HONEYSUCKLE is a biting, unflinchingly queer play/song/dance about surviving intimate partner violence and the end of the world. It also asks the age-old question: what would you do if you were stuck in a 10 ft. x 10 ft. bunker with your ex-best-friend (who you also were kind of in love with and who was maybe your gay sexual awakening but who you really hate now)? It’s about how worlds end and begin again. It’s about a pandemic—but not this one. It’s about this world and the next. HONEYSUCKLE’s claustrophobic, terrifying, sexy—and, occasionally, shockingly funny. *If your RSVP is not approved for any reason, your Venmo payment will be refunded.
