A BATTLE OF WILLS: Internal and External May 31, 2009

A Battle of Wills: Internal and External explores issues related to mental health via three one-act plays. The evening leads with This is On Me, written by Tom Fontana based on the work of Dorothy Parker and directed by Antony Marsellis. Dorothy Parker drew inspiration from the time in which she lived, the dazzling and daring Roaring Twenties.

The evening continues with Ashes to Ashes, written by Harold Pinter and directed by Christopher Hart. In this play, a wife’s torment has a profound impact upon her husband, as reality and the inner-workings of her mind become indistinguishable. Regardless of their origin, the wife’s troubled thoughts and images are very real – to her.

Love Divided By, written by award-winning writer Susan Charlotte and directed by Emmy winner John Shea, concludes the evening. During this compelling drama the audience watches as a sister gives in to her brother's desperate pleas to meet, only to discover why she has pushed him away.
