This play is both funny and touching, a perfect way to spend a May evening at the theatre.
Set in Martha’s Vineyard circa 1974 during the filming of a novice director’s second theatrical movie, the play tells the story of three actors stuck on a set in the ocean while they wait for the film’s mechanical star prop to cooperate.
The inspired choice to weave in a 1960s and ‘70s musical “score” (arranged and directed by Max Kaufman) deepens the emotional resonance and rebellion at the heart of the story. Crosby, Stills & Nash’s “Our House” provides a poignant, a cappella coda that brings a lump to the throat and a smile to the face—proof that Shakespeare and classic rock make a sublime match.
