Fringe Festival Hit Half Life Extends Through Sept. 24
By: BWW News Desk Aug. 31, 2005
Moulthrop, whose other plays include Who Cares and T.L.C. won Outstanding Playwright at the 2005 Fringe Festival for the play. Directed by Theresa K. Pond, "the 90-minute drama examines the fallout from a devastating classroom incident that explodes a family and a community. Husband, wife, daughter and best friends come to terms with the aftermath of the devastation. 'He's a good teacher; he's served his prison time for touching that girl; I just want everything to be the same,' says his wife," according to production notes. "A tense, tautly written new play . . . a singularly searing and realistic portrayal of a suddenly trendy taboo," wrote New York Magazine's Boris Kachka.
Half Life's performance schedule is Thursday through Saturday at 9pm, on Sept. 9th and 10th, 15th through 17th and 22nd through 24th; there will be a special performance on Monday, Sept. 19th at 7 PM.
Tickets, which are $15, are available by calling (212) 352-3101 or (866) 811-4111. For more information, visit www.theatermania.com or www.robertmoulthrop.com.
