Unfortunately, he just might have to do all four! This fast-paced, behind the scenes comedy is a fictional romp of what happened when three Hollywood legends locked themselves up in an office for a week to create cinematic history. Rating PG-L

By David Hare
A sensation in London, The Blue Room depicts a daisy chain of ten encounters played by an ensemble cast. Each scene features a couple on the edge of intimacy and afterward when the hypocrisy, the folly and the loneliness become apparent. One of the two moves on to another partner until the characters circle back to the beginning. Characters vary from a bedraggled prostitute to an aristocratic politician. Freely adapted from Arthur Shnitzler’s 1897 dramatic expose of decadence, each scene is infused with
witty modern nuance. Rating MA-S, L
