Wild Horses

Penfold Theatre Company presents Wild Horses, by Allison Gregory.

Wild Horses is a one-woman coming-of-age story. A dark comedy about adolescent firsts and self-liberation, the script is a tapestry of summertime tales woven with a 1970s soundtrack.

Jennifer Coy Jennings plays a woman reflecting on the era between girlhood and womanhood. She’s trapped in a dysfunctional family but surrounded by friends whose exploits are both hilarious and poignant, verging at times on harrowing, as they navigate the world of teenage exploration. Together, they hatch a zany plan to free a herd of horses from captivity, but it’s clear the horses are not the only ones longing to escape.

“Jennings channels all of her natural vivacity into making this story hers, and she owns it so thoroughly, with such abundant humor and rowdiness and fervor and heartbreak, that in this tiny space the story becomes ours as well; the experience is as intimate as a slumber party.” – The Austin Chronicle, 2017
 
“At times heartbreaking and unremittingly hilarious, Jennifer Coy Jennings excels as the one-woman play’s nameless protagonist.” – Sight Lines
