Stephen Belber's DUSK RINGS A BELL Opens This Month at The Lounge Theatre
By: Tyler Peterson Feb. 08, 2016
Molly and Ray unexpectedly meet 25 years after a one-afternoon adolescent fling. Their encounter reveals two vastly different paths taken and two lonely souls attempting to reclaim a moment of possibility, when they were young and perhaps at their very best. Award winning playwright Stephen Belber's poignant drama explores the fragile threads that bind the heart and the choices we make that break them.
