MONDAY
PERFORMANCE
B
The letter “B” stands for “bomb” in this 90-minute thriller by Chilean playwright Guillermo Calderón. Two young, nonviolent female anarchists consort with a veteran anarchist named Jose about the best way to disrupt a capitalist system that has led to rampant economic inequality, giving us a look into the personal motivations that drive violent political action. Jay O’Leary (who previously staged Welcome to Arroyo’s) directs this production from Washington Ensemble Theatre. RICH SMITH
