Ethics and the Theater- Family Feelings October 19, 2012

A collaborative blend of poetry and play reading.

Suggested donation: $5

The film pays tribute to those relationships we know best, or least. Using scenes from A.R. Gurney’s Cocktail Hour – an appeal to gain Father’s approval for the staging of his son’s play 

– and selected poems by John Foy and others, the performance weaves together poems and script in counterpoint so that, through echoes and associative logic, they get to the psychic truth of

unspoken family feelings.

Richard Van Deusen directs the cast, which includes Burt Edwards, John Foy, Cordis Heard, and Mark Hofmaier.

Come at 6:30 pm for a wine and cheese reception and, after the reading, participate in a discussion of the ethical issues of the play led by Richard.
