The Dining Room
Hawthorne Players presents The Dining Room, a brilliantly conceived and richly humorous theatrical tour de force, in which the performers portray a wide array of diverse characters in the now neglected room which was once a vital center of family life. Hilarious and touching!
The actors change roles, personalities and ages with virtuoso skill as they portray a wide variety of characters, from little boys to stern grandfathers, and from giggling teenage girls to Irish housemaids. Each vignette introduces a new set of people and events; a father lectures his son on grammar and politics; a boy returns from boarding school to discover his mother's infidelity; a senile grandmother doesn't recognize her own sons at Christmas dinner; a daughter, her marriage a shambles, pleads futilely to return home, etc. Dovetailing swiftly and smoothly, the varied scenes coalesce, ultimately, into a theatrical experience of exceptional range, compassionate humor and abundant humanity.
Produced through special arrangement with Dramatists Play Service, Inc.
