Starting on Oct. 2, Elon University students will showcase the first performance of the play “Reckless” in the Black Box Theatre. Written in 1983 by Craig Lucas, “Reckless” is a dark comedy that follows main character Rachel, who learns her husband has hired someone to kill her. What follows is a series of adventures where Rachel learns more about herself and the world. Kirby Wahl, associate professor of performing arts and director of “Reckless” commented that this play is humorous, while allowing the audience to step away and think about the darker themes. “It has an absurdist inclination, but it’s not really that kind of play,” he said. “There is meaning to be found in the play.” For Rachel, her experiences serve as a journey of self-discovery.
