Enter the Guardsmen at Aspen Fringe Festival

After six months of marriage the bloom is off the rose for the famous newlyweds. “She gazes out the window and she plays Chopin,” agonizes the Actor.” But then—cue the anonymous roses, the amorous letters and enter the Guardsman—her secret fantasy, his greatest fear. Enter the Guardsman is an intimate musical about sex, marriage, adultery, role playing, truth-telling and keeping your performance fresh in the long run. As seen through the eyes of a theatre ghost, the action takes place in the timeless world of “back stage”. The score is evocative of turn of the century Vienna; tuneful, romantic and waltz filled, recalling a theater of wit, style, sophistication and romance. But beneath the facade the play is an exploration of marriage and the very modern dilemma of maintaining the erotic within the monogamous.
