Emerald City Scene is kicking off our 2010-2011 season with "Five Gold Rings" by Joanna Laurens!
Directed by Nathaniel Porter, and starring David Carlson, Solomon Davis, Adrienne Littleton, Kelli Mohrbacher, and Jesse Parce!
Joanna Laurens has been compared to Shakespeare, Harold Pinter, and Sarah Kane, with her unique blend of contemporary speech and verse. Do not miss the North American Premiere of this beautifully poetic, emotional, and engrossing play!
In the desert, Henry (David Carlson) waits. He waits for his children to come home for Christmas. He waits for his wife to come home. This Christmas, as usual, the kids come home, but the wife does not. But this year, Henry's sons Daniel (Jesse Parce) and Simon (Solomon Davis) are presented with telling their father that his water source has run dry, and that he must leave his home. Along with their wives, Freyja (Adrienne Littleton) and Miranda (Kelli Mohrbacher), the kids have issues, too, with sources running dry: Daniel is impotent, and Simon has had a vasectomy . These five must figure out whether or not to keep the rings they have that bind, or tear them off, revealing the skin raw beneath.
