HURRICANE DIANE by Madeleine George
Hartford Stage | May-June 2025
Diane has a landscaping business, thousands of years of experience under her work belt, and a mythical knack for turning worlds upside down. The cosmic clock is ticking and at the eleventh hour, Diane discovers the fate of humanity is buried in a New Jersey suburb and that – oh, gods! – only the housewives can save us. Hurricane Diane is a provocative comedy about letting things get a little wild in the name of the greater good.

PRESS + PROMO
“Hurricane Diane is a force to be reckoned with…All five actors are top-notch talent, delivering strong performances across the board. Supported by clever and intentional direction and design work, the result is a wonderful example of what live theatre can be when wielded as such – a powerful, provocative, thought-provoking piece of art that will have you laughing, while also leaving with a few things of your own to ponder.” -Kiersten Bjork, CT Critics Circle
“This is consciousness-raising comedy about divinity, lust and landscaping that is also a beautiful balanced human drama.” -The Hartford Courant
“…an imaginative and “oh so” extraordinary production.”
-Howard Frydman, CT Critics Cricle
“Madeleine George’s play in this excellent production is a hit of the season” -The Berkshire Edge
