NATIVE GARDENS
Written by Karen Zacarķas
Directed by Robert Barry Fleming
NOW THRU MAY 19, 2019
ALLEN THEATRE
A hilarious hot-button comedy about thorny neighbors with good intentions.
Pablo and Tania have just purchased a fixer-upper next to Frank and Virginia, a well-established couple with a prize-worthy English garden. A friendly disagreement over a little fence hilariously erupts into an
all-out border war, exposing both couples’ notions of race, taste, class and privilege. The gloves are off in this colorful production that shines a light on what happens when cultures and gardens clash.
