Bobby Gould In Hell by David Mamet
Directed by Suzanne Walshe
This is Bobby Gould’s day of reckoning. The conniving movie mogul wakes up in Hell’s Waiting Room. A loquacious interrogator in fishing waders enters. Gould argues his case. A woman he has wronged appears. In this one act play by David Mamet, described by the New York Times as “funny and pungent” will Bobby be damned or saved?
27 Wagons Full of Cotton by Tennessee Williams
Directed by Brigid Sweeney
A dark, one-act play set on a Southern plantation during the Great Depression. An impoverished gin owner, Jake, burns down a rival mill and then places his childlike, vulnerable wife, Flora, in the path of the rival’s representative, Silva, as he seeks to secure a cotton contract. The ensuing encounter exposes the brutal intersection of economic desperation, sexual power, and the collision of greed, lust, and fragile innocence.
