SYNOPSIS:
On his 50th birthday, Martin, a world-famous architect prepares for a recorded interview by an old friend in the TV business; but in the course of the conversation a secret emerges that threatens to turn celebration to tragedy. Edward Albee’s black comedy offers a fascinating look at the limits liberal society can be pushed to, and asks the audience to question their beliefs, to examine their own bigoted views and reconsider their judgement of matters that may or may not be considered socially taboo.
Available Roles:
Martin : a celebrated architect in his 50’s. Kind, preoccupied. An observer of his own life. Actor should appear in the age range: 45-70.
Stevie : Martin’s confident and witty wife, clearly a woman in her element at the play’s start. Actress should in the age range: 45-70.
Ross : Martin’s longtime friend, and a good friend to Stevie as well; he is obviously fond of both. We wonder if his sharing Martin’s information was self-serving. Actor should appear in the age range 45-70.
