TheaterWorks Hartford Presents QUEEN OF BASEL by Hilary Bettis

TheaterWorks Hartford presents New England Premiere of QUEEN OF BASEL by HILARY BETTIS February 3-26, 2023. Bold Adaptation of Strindberg’s Miss Julie Set During Miami’s Art Basel.

TheaterWorks Hartford, under the leadership of Producing Artistic Director Rob Ruggiero, is proud to present the New England Premiere of QUEEN OF BASEL by Hilary Bettis. Directed by Cristina Angeles, Queen of Basel is a bold adaptation of Strindberg’s Miss Julie set within the Latinx community during Miami’s Art Basel. Featuring an all Latinx cast and creative team, Queen of Basel runs February 3–26, 2023 at TheaterWorks Hartford’s historic home, located at 233 Pearl Street, Hartford, CT. It will stream on demand February 19–26. Tickets are now on sale at twhartford.org.

It’s Miami’s Art Basel, where real estate heiress Julie reigns over the blowout her mogul father is throwing at his South Beach hotel. But after tangling with him and a tray of drinks, Julie plots her next move in the hotel’s storage kitchen with Christine, a waitress who recently fled violence in Venezuela, and Christine’s fiancé John, an Uber driver with ambitions. This explosive elixir of power, class, and race within the Latinx community examines the timelessness of love and betrayal in this bold new play.
