How much of your integrity would you sacrifice for a life of wealth and privilege? The Playground follows Joan — former professor, new mother, displaced to New York — as she navigates a world of hedge funds, ambition, and the moral compromises each of us makes in Trump's America.
About the Play
The play follows the life of a former college professor named Joan - a mother of a four-year-old boy who has moved to New York to follow her mathematician husband after he takes a job at a hedge fund. The story is told from her perspective as she remembers her life in New York, her brushes with a life of wealth and privilege, and the decision she makes that will forever alter the course of her life and the lives of those around her.
The audience sees the world from her perspective and hears the voices of the people she encounters during her sojourn to New York. She shares her story in the attempt to understand the choices she makes as she looks for a way to gain some sort of redemption.
Helltown Players Founder Jim Dalglish is back at Cotuit Center for the Arts with his seventh world-premiere production, The Playground, opening Thursday, June 6 and running through Sunday, June 23.
