Playwright Anne Washburn

10.8.08 - Cambridge, Mass. - Portraits of playwright Anne Washburn. Her play, The Communist Dracula Pageant, is being performed at the Zero Arrow Theatre in Cambridge from Oct. 18-Nov. 9. It's a satire about how the Romanian myth (Dracula) played into the politics of the 1974 and 1989 revolutions. 

That probably didn't do it justice, but I promise it sounds cool, so check it out.
