Erin Barrera

Genres

Drama, Family

Starring

Russell Tautenhahn, Fiona Beeton, Austin Atencio

Tagline

A great love is perhaps incomplete without it's decline, agony, without its conclusion.

Overview

The play revolves around a couple, William and Margaret/Billy and Maggie, who are depicted at two key stages in their lives. After forty years of marriage, Maggie is ill and riddled with pain. As they enter the final week of her life, the house becomes full with memories of their marriage and their desperation to conceive a child. Past and present literally intertwine as the older and younger couples move around each other across the stage. Originally a 75 page play, this rendition was cut down to 50 pages to be a part of a greater festival. There were only 10 allotted rehearsals for this piece.
