The Adobe entry in The Southwest Irish Theater Festival.
This play is set in a seaside hotel in Inish, Ireland. In order to attract more tourists to the resort, the owner of the hotel has decided to host a serious acting company that will be presenting modern drama in the town's theatre. As bad luck would have it, the plays they present (Ibsen, Strindberg, Tolstoy, Chekhov and the like) all deal with dark topics that have never occurred to the relatively healthy residents of this tight community. Gradually -- and hilariously -- the good folk get dragged into the dark pit of introspection and depression. Even the pit itself is funny since it is excavated by the intense Hector de la Mare and his darkly depressed wife Constance Constantia, the actor manager-team who run the company. The play is a send-up of pretentious artists, cutting-edge drama, and naive Irish village life.
