Howards End Virtual Reading
Join the Howards End team for a special virtual reading in which the startling intimacy of each moment is delivered directly to your home.
When the indomitable, inseparable Schlegel sisters fall out over two very different men, the ghost of an old friend (and her ignored death-bed wish) brings them back to the one place where they can possibly heal. Think Fleabag, Little Women, or whatever ambitious, honest, irreverently feminist story you love most.
Based on the enduringly irresistible novel by E.M. Forster

Created by Autumn Dornfeld & Caroline Hewitt
Directed by Marissa Wolf
Dramaturgy by Ben Fainstein
with Stage Manager Liam Kaas-Lentz
