The phones are down and who would ever expect cell phones to work in this part of the country? Does it sound like a good night for a dinner party with a lot of laughs from a boisterous, tipsy actress? Does it sound like a good night for a murder - or two - or? People are dying and it really isn't funny any more. This two-act murder mystery has its share of laughs leading up to a thrilling finale that will keep your audience guessing and on the edges of their seats until the absolute end. | |||||

Notes: | COLD HEARTS is a six-character (3M, 3W), two-act drama. It takes place on an open unit set with the suggestion of three living spaces: Richard's living room; Peter and Mary's dining/living room; and Simon's apartment bedroom. The play can be presented very well in an intimate space with minimal production values; it can also be a large production with slides, video and towering scenery. | |||||
Synopsis: | COLD HEARTS by Michael Walker is a drama. Peter and Mary are a wealthy Manhattan couple who have a daughter, Cassie, a professor. She is sexually involved with two men: Richard, who went to college with her father; and Simon, a young man who recently was her student. Richard is a wealthy, powerful, dangerous older man. Simon is a destitute, brash, leftist-radical, reminiscent of the 1960's, who appears sexually impotent, possibly gay, and attracted to abusive, dominant people. Cassie is addicted to the men and the power. (COLD HEARTS was previously titled REFLECTIONS.) | |||||
