In her debut novel, The Safekeep, Yael van der Wouden writes a tense, sensuous, and expertly-plotted tale of two women in post-WWII Netherlands who are thrust into a close-quartered and tempestuous relationship with each other. The novel is at once a historical reconciliation, an empathetic character study, a mystery, and a love story, all delivered in van der Wouden’s impeccably-wrought prose.

Studio Theatre and the playwright very much want us to know, going in, that Problems Between Sisters by Julia May Jonas is a genderswapped riff on True West, a 1969 dark comedy by Sam Shepherd about two combative brothers. Jonas has picked this classic from the male canon, very loosely adapted its storyline, and turned the main characters into two combative sisters — both of whom, as it happens, are hugely pregnant.

Studio Theatre’s 2023/24 season promises to bring new perspectives, first looks at new work, and fresh takes on great works of the past. Studio aims to maintain the momentum of the 2022/23 season, which explored new territory and brought audiences back into the theatre fold. “It might not quite be business as usual, but I think it’s fair to say we’re back in business,” said Studio Artistic Director David Muse.
