Exposed: by Mary Dickson 

Mary Dickson talks an event coming up where she will read from the play she wrote called Exposed. A powerful and very personal play that documents the human cost of nuclear testing, original performed by Plan B Theater.

  • Join UtahPresents and Mary Dickson for a free reading Exposed, March 10, 6:30p at the Salt Lake County Library’s Viridian Event Center, 8030 S 1825 W, West Jordan, UT 84088. 
  • During the Cold War the U.S. government exploded 926 nuclear bombs, all more powerful than the one that leveled Hiroshima, at a Nevada test site. After its premiere at Plan B Theatre, the Chicago Tribune Syndicate called it “a sacrament of grief and anger that doesn’t stop at the edge of the stage or end with the actors’ bows. Be careful. It gets under the skin and into the marrow.
  • A talkback will be led by the author following both readings. Presented in conjunction with Phantom Limb Company’s performance of Falling Out on March 20
