Classic Stage Company's production of Snow in Midsummer, a mystery play by Frances Ya-Chu Cowhig, has set its full Off-Broadway cast. Directed by Zi Alikhan, the show begins performances at Classic Stage Company on May 19 ahead of a June 8 opening, and the run will go through July 9.

Snow in Midsummer is a murder mystery play set in a town wracked by a drought. When a wealthy businesswoman moves there to take over a factory, she learns that a curse has been placed on the town by an innocent woman wrongly executed for a crime. Cowhig's work ties together stories of the past and the present, and how old injustices can cause harm for future generations, in her adaptation of the classical Chinese play The Injustice to Dou Yi That Moved Heaven and Earth.
