Fabulation: Or the Re-Education of Undine at Hudson Mainstage Theatre

Lynn Nottage's FABULATION winner of "Best New American Play" will keep you on your toes! This fast pace satire is nothing short of a Broadway production, scaled down to an intimate 99 seat venue where everyone is able to witness this beautiful story from the front row. Experience the energy of 27 characters played by 6 talented actors as they re-educate Undine! FABULATION is a social satire about Undine Barnes Calles, an ambitious & haughty woman, who's husband suddenly disappears after embezzling all of her money. Pregnant and on the brink of social and financial ruin, Undine retreats to her childhood home in Brooklyn's Walt Whitman projects, only to discover that she must cope with a crude new reality. Undine faces the challenge of transforming her setbacks into small victories in a battle to reaffirm her right to be. FABULATION is a comeuppance battle with a comic twist. Undine had made it; out of the projects, into the Ivy Leagues and to top the success, she had established herself as a PR mogul catering to celebrities and the rich of Manhattan and Martha’s Vineyard. Beneath the façade however, is a woman reinvented on unsturdy foundations; with an allegedly perished family and a name borrowed from a character in Edith Wharton’s, the Custom of the Country. When Undine’s carefully crafted world falls apart, she’s forced to file bankruptcy, and with no nouveau-riche friends to turn to, she must go home to Brooklyn and acknowledge the hurt she’s left behind; a drug addicted grandmother, a veteran brother, and parents she hasn’t spoken to in fourteen years.
