PsychoDrama Cynthia's Birthday Debuts in Miami
By: Beau Higgins Jul. 06, 2005
CYNTHIA'S BIRTHDAY,
A COMPELLING AND RIVETING NEW DRAMA,
DEBUTING AT THE ETRA GALLERY AND MIAMINTELLIGENCEThe recently-established, popularly- and critically-acclaimed White
Orchard Theater (WOT) is excited to announce its upcoming production
of Cynthia's Birthday, an original psychological drama. This short
play draws on a combination of the dramatic tradition of both
Tennessee Williams and Harold Pinter. Cynthia's Birthday confronts
the audience with a challenging question: are second chances
possible in relationships and, indeed, in life? Taking place over
the course of one night, the piece depicts a divorced couple who
meet five years after their marriage has ended, on the occasion of
their daughter's birthday. Gradually, their conversations become
more and more penetrating and insightful, culminating in an
unforgettable moment of truth. Imbued with a sly undertone of
comedy, the play is a fascinatingly rich portrait of a family's
emotional turmoil, and its potential redemption.Cynthia's Birthday will make its stand as art with its debut at the
Etra Gallery in the Design District (56 N.E. 40th Street, Miami, FL,
33137) on Saturday, July 16, 2005, at 7:30 p.m. (doors open at 7
p.m.) A cocktail reception/intellectual discussion will follow the
performance. The play will then be performed at MiamIntelligence in
Coconut Grove (2000 South Dixie Highway, Miami, FL, 33133) on
Friday, July 29, 2005, at 8 p.m. (doors open at 7:30 p.m.) A
cocktail party/intellectual discussion will also follow this
performance. For tickets to the performances, call (305) 331-1293
(all major credit cards accepted). Price per ticket (includes
cocktail reception/party): $20.
