SIX CHARACTERS IN SEARCH OF A PLAY Comes to Circle Theatre
By: Stephi Wild Jan. 29, 2018
Del Shores (playwright of Sordid Lives) returns to Circle Theatre for one day only with his new, one-man show directed by Emerson Collins. Shores proves once again that he is not a writer, but a self-proclaimed thief! In Six Characters In Search Of A Play, Shores is inspired by Pirandello's classic play to bring you six characters inspired by his real-life encounters that haven't quite made it into one of Shores' plays, films or TV shows.
In 90 minutes, the audience will hear the truth behind how he collected these eccentrics, then he will portray them in classic Shores' monologue style. The audience will walk away knowing "Yvonne", the vegetarian-hating Texas waitress; "Sarah", an elderly actress who is determined to drink and smoke herself to death if Trump is elected; "Jimmy Ray", the evolving Georgia redneck, "Loraine"; the once brilliant drama teacher who has lost her damn mind and is now obsessed with pornography; "Aunt Bobbie Sue" the loud-mouth racist Republican with a heart of gold; and "Marsha", the monkey-hating lesbian with CPOD. Get ready to laugh, think and maybe shed a tear or two.
Del Shores (Playwright/Actor) has written, directed and produced successfully across studio and independent film, network and cable television and regional and national touring theatres. Circle Theatre produced Shores' critically acclaimed comedy, Sordid Lives, in 1996. Due to popular demand, Circle staged it again the year after.
