The Fourth Wall by A. R. GurneyDec. 21, 2007 - Feb. 3, 2008  The state of American politics is skillfully woven into a modern-day lively and clever comedy that explores our place in the world today. In this newly revised version, the play begins as Peggy, much to the chagrin of her husband, Roger, redecorates their Buffalo, New York apartment as if it were a stage – everything faces one bare wall, the ‘fourth wall'. Soon everyone who enters their living room begins to behave as if they were acting in a play along with the occasional urge to break into song! Approximate show length is 90 minutes. There is no intermission.

   This Broadway and London hit is about the way the world changes around you just when you are trying to change it yourself. The plot centers on David and Jane, who are a happy and prosperous couple and by contrast, their neighbors, Colin and Sheila, are a bitter and struggling couple. David, an architect, is currently working on the redevelopment of an inner city slum – this propels him and his wife to take on their neighbors as their next ‘redevelopment' project. This well-crafted and complex play written by Michael Frayn explores the contrasting natures of those who help and those who are helped; those who create and those who destroy.

 In this new comedy with (terrible) music, we examine the legendary incapable coloratura, and prominent heiress, Florence Foster Jenkins, who believed that she understood better than anyone else how to properly sing. Unfortunately, the result was almost excruciatingly difficult to sit through. In this bittersweet comedy of recollection, her 'longtime accompanist' recalls lovingly what it was like to play along for so many years.
