THE LAST MATCH by Anna Ziegler at The Filigree Theatre @ Sterling Stage Austin

With a taut structure and a cast of richly drawn characters, internationally acclaimed playwright, Anna Ziegler's "The Last Match” centers upon two elite tennis players facing off on court in the high-stakes men’s semifinals of the U.S. Open. As the game unfolds on stage, both characters (one a veteran champion, one an up-and-coming contender) grapple with deep questions of identity, legacy, ambition, and the grueling demands of world-class athletics.

“The Last Match is a thrilling and deeply human story that resonates far beyond the world of sports,” says director Elizabeth V. Newman, "as the play moves fluidly between the physical immediacy of a tennis match unfolding on stage and the intimate emotional terrain of life off the court, exploring the delicate and sometimes difficult divide between goodness and greatness."
