An International Award Winning Play By French playwright Marie Ndiaye
Washington, D.C. (PRWEB) October 6, 2005 -- Hilda tells the haunting story of an upper-class woman’s consuming obsession with the woman she hires to care for her children. With stark cinematic undertones, Hilda is a potent and provocative look at the seductiveness of control. Hilda was chosen by the French Critics Association as the Best New Play of 2002.
The Studio Theatre forges an artistic connection with the Théâtre de l'Atelier in Paris and American Conservatory Theater in San Francisco. This production of Hilda will be opening at the 59E59 Theaters in New York immediately after its Washington run. Hilda runs September 5 – October 16, 2005, at The Studio Theatre, 1501 14th Street, NW, (202) 332-3300 or www.studiotheatre.org.

The Studio Theatre Secondstage, created in 1988, offers a signature blend of spirited and irreverent performances, provocative productions of created works, cutting-edge writers, musicals and early works by revered authors.
