Still reeling with the anger and regret caused by a life-changing decision they made two decades ago, Peter and Kari forge new futures for themselves as they struggle to break the gravitational pull of the past. The story is human, fascinating and perhaps more relevant than ever in these media-dominated times. For mature audiences only, this is a powerful play examining difficult and painful issues with honesty, integrity, humor and humanity. The language, while poetic and powerful, is rough.
Sex is dealt with frankly and graphically.
This new adaptation transports Moliere s farce to New York City in the Roaring 20s. On the eve of the Great Crash, the stingy, eccentric millionaire Harper falls in love with Maria, a Greenwich Village waitress who loves Harper s son, the big-hearted carouser Clayton. Family fights, mistaken identity and a stash of missing money make this comedy a classic in any age. It is somehow appropriate for a theatre dedicated to telling great stories by great storytellers to bookend the season with adaptations from great literature. Beginning in Vonnegut's America, we will end in Joyce's Ireland with the Tony Award-winning musical James Joyce's The Dead .
