Michael Weller's 'Fifty Words' Southeastern Premiere At GableStage, Closes 9/12

August 14th-September 12th

GABLESTAGE
at the Biltmore
presents the Southeastern Premiere of
FIFTY WORDS
by Michael Weller
with
ERIN JOY SCHMIDT and GREGG WEINER

Directed by JOSEPH ADLER

When their young son has his first sleepover, Adam and Jan are allowed the first night alone together in their Brooklyn brownstone in years. Will they renew a vital spark that's been nearly smothered, or, will the night provide the moment when provisional civility explodes into fiery chaos? An expansive look at modern marriage that is alternately funny and frightening.

"Smart, muscular writing! Submerges the audience in the mysteries of the human connection!" -John Lahr, The New Yorker

"Mr. Weller is a bold and productive dramatist! He understands how closely hate and love can be linked in marriage, and how paradoxically this double-edged closeness causes husbands and wives to behave... when people act on these naked impulses, it's not only the line between love and hate that gets fuzzy but also the line between sex and violence!"
-Ben Brantley, The New York Times
