Synopsis
Madagascar
Published by Dramatists Play Service
1 Male 2 Female
At three different periods in time, three Americans find themselves alone, in the same hotel room overlooking the Spanish Steps in Rome - June, a young woman who works as a tour guide of the city's ancient ruins; Lilian, her wealthy and elegant jet-setting mother; and Nathan, a rumpled university economist and the best friend of Lilian's famous deceased husband
They each tell their individual story of how and why they are here
Their relationship to each other, what this room means to them, and why they have been called to it slowly reveal themselves. Their stories spill out, weave back and forth-each contradicting, clarifying, deepening what the others say - becoming strands of one gripping and disquieting tale
" ... lures you into its tale of reflection, recrimination and regret with captivating powerwondrous, elegiac, unforgettable drama" ~ Miami Herald
" ... a subtle, beautifully written, sad, and disturbing play" ~ Edward Albee
