About

The Passion of Teresa Rae King

By Preston Lane

First comes love. Then comes marriage. Then comes murder. Triad Stage returns to Hawboro, this time to the wrong side of the tracks. A young woman beleaguered by her husband and terrorized by her mother-in-law finds comfort in the arms of another man. They carry out a plot meant to free Teresa, but the repercussions of their actions haunt them and threaten to drive them to madness. Join Triad Stage for this World Premiere loosely inspired by Émile Zola’s novel Thérèse Raquin. For mature audiences.

Sin, death and madness in Hawboro
Triad City Beat
May 10, 2018

For six days, they made forbidden love in cut-rate hotels, a Gideon bible in each bedside drawer, but on the seventh they went down to the river and there consummated their rapid descent into madness. Such is the fate of the titular character and her clandestine amour in The Passion of Teresa Rae King, which debuted at Triad Stage last weekend and runs through May 20.

Theater review: Triad Stage presents 'The Passion of Teresa Rae King'
News & Record
May 6, 2018

For live theater enthusiasts, being one of the first audiences to experience a new work gives an extra boost to a night out, especially if that work engages and entertains. Friday night’s Triad Stage opening of Preston Lane’s latest script, “The Passion of Teresa Rae King,” proved to be no exception. Marrying an old story with a new location and storytelling that fully embraces modern technology provides an engrossing tale of human relationships and the manifestations of guilt.
