United Solo Fest to Feature Edinburgh Fringe Hit MADE FOR EACH OTHER, 10/16
By: Molly Tracy Oct. 04, 2013
The United Solo Festival will feature Monica Bauer's play "Made for Each Other" for one performance only, on Theatre Row, Wednesday, October 16, at 7:30. Bauer wrote the play specifically for New York actor John Fico, as a tour de force for one actor playing four parts, in a play about an unlikely gay marriage and the power of memory.
Made for Each Other is the love story of Vincent, an acerbic, witty, closeted science teacher in his mid-fifties, and Jerry, a down-to-earth nurse who cares for Vincent's mother in an Alzheimer's ward. When Jerry proposes to Vincent after the third date, he has no idea that Vincent's told him a lie, a lie that might destroy their relationship. On the night before their wedding, Vincent must decide if he will tell the truth before the ceremony, and give Jerry the chance to back out. Each of these men carry a voice in their subconscious minds which pushes them to toward, and away, from each other. Vincent carries within him the hilarious and heart-breaking voice of his Alzheimer's addled Broadway diva mother, and Jerry carries within him the strong presence of the one man in his family who accepted him as gay and loved him completely; his irascible old Italian grandfather, Damiano.Videos
