Landscape of the Body
by John Guare
directed by L. Zane

John Guare’s comedy evokes the pathos and craziness of the 1970s when “finding yourself” was an over-familiar mantra. Two sisters are at the heart of a story that begins when Rosalie is killed by a yellow Raleigh bicycle on a New York City sidewalk. Betty, who has come from Maine to rescue her sister, slips instead into the pattern of Rosalie’s desperate life. Director L. Zane has called Landscape a “theatrical expression of longing and hope.”
