Rosebloom

2 Male 2 Female
As they wait, their hidden thoughts come alive in striking, trenchant interior monologues that project the frustrations and enmities brooding within them
The arrival of Rosebloom triggers the powerful, ritualistic culmination of the play, as past, present and future merge, and fantasy and reality are juxtaposed to illuminate the disquieting truths that are the bitter core of the play
First presented at the Mark Taper Forum, where it was awarded the Los Angeles Drama Critics Circle Award, and then an important Off-Broadway production, this funny, chilling, eloquent in and absorbing black comedy marked the introduction of a vital new voice in the avant garde theatre
