Synopsis: | Everything has its price in a new production, The Present Perfect, by theater artist Kourtney Rutherford. The performer/director has created a play about materialism in which everything on stage has a price tag: The set, props, costumes, even the performers are for sale. A price list is included in the program. 'I wrote a play about people in love with their furniture,' states Rutherford, 'So I figured, why not extend the opportunity for the audience to covet the stuff on stage as much as the characters do?' The Present Perfect revolves around a cocktail party gone horribly awry: the host plays mind games, the guests molest the furniture, and our protagonist, an eminent interior designer in love with her crystalline art collection, is driven to eat glass. The play dissects the marriage of art and commerce, inviting the viewer to experience first hand the fine line between patron and voyeur | |||||
