Theatre West Presents The World Premiere of THE MAN WHO SAVED EVERYTHING
Theatre West presents the world premiere of Benjamin Scuglia's "THE MAN WHO SAVED EVERYTHING"- A compelling drama, directed by Michael Van Duzer, produced by Ernest McDaniel and Garry Kluger. The show will open August 24 and currently scheduled to run through September 23, 2018. Tickets on sale at: www.theatrewest.org
Before his life as an adult could begin, Barry left school and moved back home to care for his aging parents. When they died, he never left - literally. Barry became obsessed with holding onto every single possession and treasured item that might help keep alive the memory of his parents and his prior life. He saved everything.
Decades later, Barry lives inside a massive hoard of possessions. But his neighborhood is being redeveloped and he faces eviction. Only his niece and a former friend from college care enough for his health and well-being to attempt to convince him to leave his longtime home.
How can Barry abandon a collection that he has carefully curated and guarded for decades, a hoard of items that has literally become his home? What happens to his memories when the possessions that anchored them are gone?
THE MAN WHO SAVED EVERYTHING, an original drama by Benjamin Scuglia, is a timely, compelling and absorbing exploration of hoarding, family and memory, our possessions and the connections that bind us together.
