San Antonio Premiere
Peggy has redecorated her living room and her husband Roger can't stand it. The room has been redone as though it were a stage set. Everything in the room faces one wall (The Fourth Wall). Everyone who enters the room behaves as though they were on stage, even to the point that people feel the urge to burst into a Cole Porter song (or five). Julia begins to suspect there are mysterious people—and possibly a much better, more exciting world—waiting for her just beyond the plaster. Peggy is obviously a dramatic person to begin with, but at the first sight of the fourth wall, she begins referring to her conversations as "scenes," and becomes desperate to interject the visit with a thread of a plot. Then a self-promoting local theater professor shows up, the action skitters in and out of a dozen different stage styles—bedroom farce, crime thriller, existential drama, absurdist comedy—as characters follows their own story line, each insisting on being the star of the piece. Spontaneously, they all take turns bursting into songs, singing along with Cole Porter tunes played by a grand piano with a mind of its own. |
