House of Blue Leaves by John Guare. Directed by William Grayson
Set in 1965 Queens, The House of Blue Leaves is a dark comedy that follows Artie Shaughnessy, a struggling zookeeper with dreams of becoming a famous Hollywood songwriter. As Artie navigates his tumultuous life, he grapples with his schizophrenic wife, Bananas, and his eager-to-escape girlfriend, Bunny. The day takes a chaotic turn with the visit of Pope Paul VI to New York City, which attracts three excitable nuns and leads to unexpected—and explosive—events. With sharp wit and emotional depth, the play explores themes of fame, failure, and the lengths we go to in pursuit of our dreams.
