The Cincinnati Playhouse is about to deliver its third world premiere of the season; this time, it’s a brand-new memory play by award-winning playwright Anna Ziegler that is humorous and heartbreaking. A Delicate Ship is about a complicated love triangle that unravels in unexpected ways. Veteran director Michael Evan Haney calls the show “realistic with surreal overtones.” He’s staging Ziegler’s unusual script that explores how past, present and future all happen “within us at the same time.” Artistic director Blake Robison calls the Shelterhouse production, “An adult play for thoughtful and adventurous audiences.”
Through April 20. $30-$80. Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park, 962 Mount Adams Circle, Mount Adams, 513-421-3888, cincyplay.com.
