Two of her works, 'Dog Act' and 'Born with Teeth,' are being showcased at the Main Street Theater and The Alley respectively.
When asked how she realized she wanted to be a playwright, Adams described it as “A very long slow dawning about where I belonged in the world” beginning with a love of theater as a teenager.
Adams worked on “collaborative experimental theater pieces” and spent a period trying to be an actor. “That was not a congenial life for me,” she said. “I wasn’t sure I wanted only mainstream theater.” She describes “Dog Act” as “post-apocalyptic, but there’s hope in it. I love playing with language: heightened language, theatrical language.”
On the other hand, with “Born with Teeth” — set in the 16th century — Adams says, “I recently started calling myself a landscape playwright like a landscape painter, using context and time and being interested in the past or the future as a way to talk about the past obliquely” and allowing the audience to have “a gut sense of what the physical life of the place is.”
