North Coast Rep to present family drama ‘Louisa Gillis’

A haunting incident from 40 years ago ignites “Louisa Gillis”, an explosive world premiere about the devasting ripple effects of revenge at North Coast Repertory Theatre in Solana Beach. Performances begin Wednesday, Jan. 14, and run through Sunday, Feb. 8.

Joanna McClelland Glass’s searing new drama weaves a sophisticated psychological thriller about family bonds, betrayal, and the possibility of healing. In this masterfully crafted battle of wits and words that is laced with humor, secrets unravel and alliances shift as a brilliant but fractured family grapples with the power of forgiveness and the price of letting go, according to a news release.

The show runs Wednesday and Thursdays at 7 p.m., Friday and Saturday evening at 8 p.m., Sunday evenings 7 p.m., and Saturday and Sunday matinees at 2 p.m. Added Wednesday matinee Feb. 4, and Friday, Jan 16. A talkback with the director and cast is scheduled for Friday, Jan 23. North Coast Rep is located at 987 Lomas Santa Fe Drive, Solana Beach.
