After
two sold out Off-Off Broadway runs of THE SWEET LIFE in June 2001
and WORLDS COLLIDE - at the bottom of a glass In these two interlocking plays, we discover people who live and love in states of discontentment. The very ways in which they are leading their lives is detrimental to their happiness -both as individuals and as couples. In "One Hundred Dollars Worth of Change" an engaged couple returns from a vacation in Italy and to their busy schedules and routines. A visit from a drug dealer and their ensuing conversation alters the soon-to-be husband's life. In "Venice, Again" two couples vacation together in Italy as they witness their lives and marriages crumble through lies and deception. The audience never sees the one person who connects these to plays and who -through his death- offers some chance at redemption and change.
This
is the second annual production, which will be dedicated to TTS founding member,
actor Kevin Cleary, who was killed *** "Museum Hours" - Two old old college friends who are also former lovers and comprise 'two-thirds of a love triangle' meet up in a Florence museum, one year after the other third (Brian) has died. Frank and Laura, now in their early 40's, are drawn to the museum by the force of their haunted feelings and memories. In front of Donatello's little-known but stunning 'Penitent Magdalene', the two confront the lies, demons and passions that not only involve the lover they both lost, but also tie them to each other. As their -at times heated- confessions draw the attention of an irrepressible museum guard named Raffaele, Frank and Laura simultaneously arrive at a painful yet liberating truth about the endless echo of a moment of true and intense intimacy.
