The Optimist is a new full-length play by Seattle playwright Stacy D.
Flood inspired by the lyrics of Jimi Hendrix. The story follows
protagonist, Jesse, on a journey to overcome monsters, perceived or
otherwise, through space and seas and heavens. Throughout the
adventure, each setback and success forces Jesse to examine the nature
of triumph, what victory really means, whether such is ever absolute,
and how to come to ultimately come to a peace and discovery through
each step of the journey. Along with the performance of the new
theatrical work, Seattle musicians will play short sets at each
performance, showcasing their interpretations of some of the Hendrix
songs that served as inspiration for the play. Confirmed artists
include hip hop producer Martín, vocalist Tuesday and guitarist
Justin S Davis.
