Notes: | - | |||||
Synopsis: | Couples Counseling is a stylized, satirical and humorous play between a therapist and his patients who are undergoing a marital crisis. The play employs stylized grammar that creates meaningful dialogue but simultaneously deploys varying layers of rhythm and texture, characters often speaking in broken or fragmented sentences, creating a kind of musical tapestry. It references Freud's theories on sexuality, the Pleasure Principle, the Death Instinct, showing how seemingly random gestures often have a much greater meaning. Characters explore love, lust and all that stands in between; we are reminded of how difficult it is to express feelings, and how they frequently take their forms in other ways, including silence. | |||||

Synopsis: | On the first day of their marriage, a celebrated writer announces to his much younger and star struck wife his sudden realization of the emptiness of artistic striving. He wants to leave everything-that very day-to travel to a remote, windswept place deeply meaningful to him in his youth. He wants her to be part of a new life he starts there. But she suspects he is running away, afraid he is unable to finish a landmark series of books to cap his career-and she has banked everything on being part of his accomplished life, at last being introduced to cultural icons she longs to meet. As they negotiate whether they will actually leave to honor what seems the more they talk a life-or-death desire, the two confront the fact their whirlwind courtship has allowed unfounded fantasies about one another to grow. | |||||

Synopsis: | A woman on a chilly, fog-wrapped beach in early morning waits for others. Gradually, we realize that things are not what they seem. The Stormy Waters, the Long Way Home was inspired by a crest of sandy dunes on the Sagaponack beach and a group of friends, artists, who meet there on summer's days. One of them, the video-artist wife of a well known architect, with a relaxed melancholy beauty, was kind of the group's gravity center. Against the natural order of things, she fell ill at a relatively young age; she fought a valiant battle to the death. The piece is about the enduring tug of friendship, about profound love-of the ocean, of one another, of partners even when they are selfish and unfair. Like the tides, they bring us back again and again. | |||||
