PITTSFIELD, Mass. — The Berkshire County Historical Society will present ReWritten, a performance created and performed by Tom Truss and Matthew Cumbie. 

 

ReWritten explores the intimate relationship between Herman Melville and Nathaniel Hawthorne through dance, live music, projection, art installations, and text moving in and around the grounds of Arrowhead, reimagining an intergenerational queer love story. 

 

"We are so happy to welcome back Tom and Matt and the ReWritten crew for a third year," said Lesley Herzberg, BCHS Executive Director. "Each year's performance is a unique experience. This year Tom and Matt will be weaving in the stories of some of the women central to the lives of Herman Melville and Nathaniel Hawthorne. It should be a powerful performance, as always."

 

Performances are July 13-July 16 at 7:30 pm. Ticket prices vary; for more information or to purchase tickets visit berkshirehistory.org.

 

"Collaborating with the Berkshire County Historical Society to bring ReWritten to life at Arrowhead continues to be such an important and inspiring experience for our creative work," said Matthew Cumbie. "It's the perfect setting to tell these stories, and we are excited to expand whose stories are included this year!"
