Online Reading with David Lescot about his play "Dough"

The play written in 2017 questions our relationship to money thanks to a fast-paced, light, and funny choral text that goes through the different stages of life. From childhood to middle age, money gives life its tempo, with either fruitful moments or debts.

Presented by The New Ohio Theater, three actors will read excerpts of Dough, followed by Q&A with David Lecot about the meaning of money in our lives, about new models of exchange and economy, and how these subjects are often depicted in his creative writings.
