"Art's Alive" w/ Bill DeYoung 10-16-23: Natalie Symons, playwright and novelist
Episode 6713, Oct 16, 2023, 02:50 PM
Today on the Arts Alive! podcast we welcome bay area playwright and novelist Natalie Symons. Her most recent work, the farcical Nightsweat, is onstage through Nov. 5 at freeFall Theatre.
The show’s rapid-fire comic dialogue is an about-face for the New York-bred Symons, whose well-received debut book Lies in Bone (2021) was a dark and convoluted murder mystery about seriously disturbed people.

Murder is definitely in the air in Nightsweat, in which a group of four women check into an Air B&B that specializes in play-acted foul deeds, sort of a murder mystery dinner theater (with audience interaction … and without the dinner).
And something – well, of course – goes horribly wrong.
Symons discusses the play, and the laborious process of bringing it to the stage. #nightsweat #artsalive #stpetecatalyst #billdeyoung #tampabay #radio #artsalive #radiostpete
