Breakdown
World Premiere production. Dark Comedy. Description: We should always keep our promises, right? In this dark, fantastical comedy Steve made a promise to kill his best friend Helen, if she descends into dementia like her mother. Now, 20 years later he must choose, navigating the many faces of Helen's illness, her stubborn caregiver husband, her estranged daughter, and the ghost of his own son, who is hell-bent on Steve doing the bloody deed. With breathtaking moments of magical realism, The History Room explores honor, loss, the integrity of memory, and who should decide how it ends.
Steve - male - 60-70 - an artistic, vulnerable, funny man who must decide whether to keep the promise he made 20 years ago to his best friend, Helen.
