Mad Horse Theatre’s Dark Night Series Returns with UNCLE BOB, 3/19-28

Mad Horse Theatre Company's Dark Night Series returns with Austin Pendleton's UNCLE BOB.  The reclusive Bob is an angry old man who has never done anything meaningful in his life.  He is a failed actor and writer, he has driven away his loving wife, and he is dying of AIDS.  

A surprise visit by his nephew, Josh, who carries his own baggage, is more than Bob can handle.  Josh, an unemployed college drop out,  arrives on Bob's doorstep uninvited and declares that he is there to take care of him.
 
A loving family reunion this is not.  The visit filled with name-calling and open scorn as the two men reconnect and discover, much to their chagrin, that they are kindred spirits.  UNCLE BOB boldly explores those perplexing questions about life and death that existential philosophers ponder endlessly.

UNCLE Bob Marks the directorial debut of Mad Horse Theatre Company member Nate Speckman.  It stars guest artists Jacob Cote and Paul Haley.

The production opens Monday, March 19, and will run on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday evenings through March 28.  All performances will be at Lucid Stage, 29 Baxter Boulevard, in Portland.  Show time is 7:30pm.

All performances are Pay What You Can, with a suggested donation of $10.
