JETS invites you to our monthly Play Reading Evening - This month, we will be reading 'A Bench at the Edge' by Luigi Jannuzzi.A person sits on a bench at the edge of an abyss. In the style of Theatre of the Absurd, this is simply done as a bench on the edge of the apron. Along comes a second person contemplating “a heroic dive.” Their repartee, the meaning of where they really are and what they are really there for, draws out the humor and conflict of the edge. What is the abyss and what are these people doing here? Comic and terrifying concepts mix with these lives that are drawn to the edge, the confrontations here, and the conclusion that life is precious after all.
Followed by a new play from a local writer, 'Get Well Soon' by Oliver Rogers.
At Gurtainwald Asylum, Dr Augustus leads group therapy for four unusual residents: a movie fanatic, a deluded scientist, a committed method actor, and a would-be polar bear smuggler. As their stories unfold, laughter gives way to unease, and the line
between doctor and patient begins to dangerously blur.
There will be complimentary tea, coffee available. Feel free to bring your own as well 🙂
