"QUILLS has been given a smashing theatrical production by director Blanka Zizka...
A fittingly in-your-face finale."
-The Philadelphia Inquirer, June 13

 QUILLS
a Philadelphia Premiere
by Doug Wright
directed by Blanka Zizka
June 4, 1997 - July 5, 1997

It is 1807 and a notorious writer has been locked away in a lunatic asylum outside of Paris. Despite the institution's desperate attempts to quell his quill, he goes to unimaginable lengths to pen his fantastical tales, much to his captors' chagrin. A 1996 Obie Award-winning Off-Broadway hit, this outrageous new American comedy celebrates the irrepressibility of the creative spirit.

1997 Barrymore Award Winner
Outstanding Overall Production of a Play
Outstanding Lighting Design (Russell H. Champa, Designer)
