The Kingfisher

By William Douglas-Home

May 31, June 1, 2, 6, 7, 8, 9, 12, 13, 14, 15

Cecil, a seventy year-old successful novelist living comfortably with his fussy old butler is contemplating marriage. The object of his affections, Evelyn, has just buried the man she married fifty years ago. Cecil and Evelyn once had a brief romance, but he never quite got around to proposing marriage and she, sensibly, then turned to a man who did. “Now he wants to make up for that passed-up opportunity, without accepting the changes that time inevitably brings. She knows that you can’t go back, and that the path forward is not necessarily a simple straight one. There is, after all, a difference between life and living. Think about it. Douglas-Home certainly did.” (Whatsonstage.com) The dialogue in The Kingfisher bristles with hilarious one-liners. And that elusive and wary bird of the title? Is it a symbol for one of the characters and, if so, which? That’s for you to decide. Directed by Sheldon Zeff. Produced by Ken Junkins. Cast includes Hawkins: Scott Fishman, Evelyn: Gail Foulke, Cecil: Elliot Simmons.

Something Intangible

By Bruce Graham

July 12, 13, 14, 18, 19, 20, 21, 24, 25, 26, 27

Langhorne Players is thrilled to welcome to its stage a play by one of its favorite playwrights, Bruce Graham. It’s Hollywood, 1941. Two very different brothers — one an extravagant visionary, the other a plain-speaking numbers man — run a movie studio famous for its cartoon dog, Petey Pup. Gifted Tony longs to move beyond Petey and create a feature-length animated film set to classical music. His loyal brother Dale manages everything: unrealistic budgets, unpredictable Tony, and unrelenting deadlines while trying not to lose himself or his family in the wake of Tony’s feverish genius. Humming with humor and brimming with humanity, Dale and Tony show the remarkable ways brothers support each other — in spite of it all. “Bruce Graham tackles '40s Hollywood through a thinly disguised look at Walt Disney… INTANGIBLE’s real conflict between brothers, and between art and commerce, stands out not for Graham’s wit (we expected that), but the insightful exploration of artists and the people who love — and suffer — them.” (Philadelphia City Paper) Directed by Elliot Simmons.

33 Variations

By Moisés Kaufman

August 16, 17, 18, 22, 23, 24, 25, 28, 29, 30, 31

A mother coming to terms with her daughter. A composer coming to terms with his genius. And, even though they're separated by 200 years, these two people share an obsession that might, even just for a moment, make time stand still. Drama, memory, and music combine to transport you from present-day New York to 19th-century Austria, in this extraordinary new American play about passion, parenthood, and the moments of beauty that can transform a life. Originally starring Jane Fonda on Broadway, this brilliant play, nominated for 5 Tony awards, is written by Moisés Kaufman, author of The Laramie Project. "There's a lot of laughter," Fonda says. "I mean, one is surprised how funny it is. But it takes you somewhere. I think people want to be taken somewhere and feel, when the experience is over, that they have actually experienced something and are the better for it." Directed by Jack Bathke.

Daughters

By John Morgan Evans

September 27, 28, 29 October 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 10, 11, 12

This beautifully written family drama shows how four generations of Italian-American women deal with crisis. The women gather in the kitchen of the DiAngelo’s Brooklyn home while the dying family patriarch is in the bedroom playing Caruso records. Vinnie, Tessie’s husband, runs numbers for her bedridden father. Patty Ann’s husband sells discount clothing, and is scheming to take over the construction business of Patty Ann’s and Tessie’s father. Through it all the author has shown a wonderful ability to find the humor in dire situations. “One of the best written family plays in the last few years. It is funny and harrowing at almost the same moment. Its characters are composites of bravado, fear, selfishness, love, ignorance, and the will to survive.” (NY Daily News) Directed by Fran Kane.
