Contemporary Classics Theatre Presents The Verge by Susan Glaspell

Contemporary Classics Theatre presents The Verge, Susan Glaspell’s rarely produced 1921 modernist drama, opening Friday, January 23, 2026 at Christ Church Episcopal in Norcross. Directed by Cait Cortelyou, The Verge explores the themes of creation, tension between science and religion, and the yearning to break free of banality. Written by renowned feminist playwright Susan Glaspell in 1921, this play still feels vital over 100 years later, as the protagonist Claire obsessively fights to transcend mundane reality and attain something new.
