Michael Turner is spending the summer that begins his retirement at his family’s country house. Settling in to write the great American novel, he looks forward to spending time with his only child who is leaving for Yale in the Fall. The presence of Michael’s overbearing college roommate and his successful novelist stepmother complicate everyone’s plans resulting in unexpected consequences.
There will be a gun sound effect during the show.
“THE COUNTRY PLAY is truly Chekhovian . . . and truly American . . . The imagery and the atmosphere and the beautiful language and poetry of the characters is sweeping and yet very grounded.” Christopher Borg, Actor
