(THE) Foundation-a new work about "love, power and truth"-will be performed at 7:30pm on Nov. 8. The play opens up on the night after the inauguration; according to a press release, "All of Silicon Valley's royalty is gathered to celebrate. When a major CEO's life partner asks, 'What is happening to you?'-does the foundation they've built stand or crumble?" The staged reading stars Melissa Mei Jones and Drew B. Jones, and it will be followed by a Q&A with the playwright and cast."
""The Edinburgh Festival Fringe is known for bold experimentation and fearless exploration of new ideas," said McMurtry Family Director of Stanford Live Iris Nemani. "It has a reputation for being scrappy and fast-paced, embracing innovative and, at times, unpolished performances that challenge convention. These works offer a unique opportunity to engage with current and provocative ideas in real time. By bringing them to The Studio, we invite our audiences to experience the thrill of discovery, and to connect with the pulse of the global creative landscape.""
