Breakthrough Workshop Theatre presents
THE SHADOW BOX
Written by Michael Cristofer
Directed by Ira Bauer-Spector
In this compelling dramatic triptych, three terminal cancer patients dwell in separate cottages on a hospital's grounds. The three are attended and visited by family and close friends: Agnes and her mother Felicity, estranged further by the latter's dementia; Brian and Beverly, whose marital complications are exacerbated by Brian's new lover, Mark; and Joe and Maggie, unready for the strain of Joe's impending death and its effect on their teenage son.
Winner of the 1977 Pulitzer Prize for Drama and Tony Award for Best Play, it fits into BWT's Season 8 theme of “Grief / Empathy / Hope." This "Special Event Breakthrough Workshop" will be directed by Founding Artistic Director Ira Bauer-Spector and will feature a cast of BWT All-Stars.
This workshop is made possible in part due to a generous grant from San Diego LGBT Pride and is being presented free of charge for one performance only at the beautiful La Jolla Riford Library.
