Intimate Chaos, which premieres on May 15 at the Society Hill Playhouse, is a drama that explores a Lesbian relationship complete with love, desire, abandonment and betrayal.
PHILADELPHIA Pa. Apr. 17—Cheril N. Clarke is a novelist, playwright, poet, and producer, and seems to have an uncanny insight into life’s complexities-- even though she’s just 28. A Toronto native, now living in Mt. Laurel, New Jersey, Clarke has already written five novels, two plays and also manages her own production company, while working full time for a Philadelphia actuarial consulting firm. All in a day’s work for this indefatigable Gay, African American novelist.
Clarke’s play, which has been re-worked after its debut last year, is based on her third novel called, Intimate Chaos. It explores the romantic relationship between two headstrong women and their roller coaster, emotional ride. The two main characters, Sadira, played by Tiffany Barrett and Jessie, played by Vanessa Joy, dominate the production, although Clarke gives ample time to explore the other characters’ importance to the plot. Intimate Chaos will open on May 15, 2009, at the Red Room of the Society Hill Playhouse. Other performances take place from Wednesday through Sunday at 8:00 pm, except on Sunday’s when shows begin at 2:00 pm. The play closes on May 31. Tickets are $25 for general admission, and include a free drink. For more information or to purchase tickets visit www.intimatechaostheplay.com.
