Playwright-in-residence, Madeleine
George began her relationship
with Two River nine years ago
with the world premiere production
of her play Seven Homeless
Mammoths Wander New England,
a deliciously smart and funny “academic
sex comedy” about life in a
small university town. In George’s
play, Dean Wreen’s college is in
dire financial straits, and a plan to
close its on-campus natural history
museum is sending unexpected
shock waves in every direction—
just as the Dean’s ex-girlfriend has
come back into her life. This definitely
complicates things with her
much younger girlfriend, Andromeda.
Neither budget cuts nor the
shadows cast by seven about-tobe-homeless
mammoths are any
match for the sweet taste of romance
in this hilarious and deeply
moving play.
