Terminating
By Tony Kushner
Directed by Jeremiah Combs
September 20-22, 24, 25, and 27 at 7:30 p.m.
In Terminating, the classic love sonnet is transformed into a darkly funny psychoanalytic breakup, where a therapist struggles to sever ties with a challenging patient. Layered with Shakespearean allusions and emotional chaos, the play satirizes both therapy and desire, as even the therapist insists she has problems of her own.
Terminating or Sonnet LXXV or “Lass Meine Schmerzen Nicht Verloren Sein” or Ambivalence is produced by special arrangement with Broadway Play Publishing Inc, NYC www.broadwayplaypublishing.com

In a world both familiar and unsettling, four characters perform mundane household tasks while slipping into surreal behavior, blurring the line between the ordinary and the bizarre.

Set in a lavish 1898 New York parlor, In Shakespeare and the Bible unravels as Mrs. Mowbrey, a wealthy woman with a hidden past, invites her estranged niece and the niece’s fiancé under false pretenses.
