Submit To INDISCRETIONS At The Connelly Theatre

Not seen in New York City since the 9-time Tony Award nominated Broadway production, Phoenix Theatre Ensemble presents Indiscretions, Jeremy Sams’ translation of Jean Cocteau’s Les Parents Terribles. Directed by Drama Desk nominee Jonathan Silverstein (The Dining Room), Indiscretions opens on February 21st and will run through March 14th.

In this personal favorite of the French master, a young man bursts to tell his parents that he has met the love of his life and intends to marry her. His mother is devastated by the news, while his father harbors a secret about the new girlfriend that could destroy them all. Torn between love and resentment for an undeserving family she supports, the sage and spinster aunt attempts to create some order out of this mess. This crackling farce satirizes the pretensions of bourgeois bohemians and a mother who dotes on her son, perhaps, a bit too much.

The cast of Indiscretions includes Obie Award winner Jan Leslie Harding as Leo, Gayton Scott as Yvonne, Dan Cordle as George, Melissa Miller as Madeleine and William Connell as Michael.

Sets for Indiscretions will be designed by Michael V. Moore, lights by Lucrecia Briceno, costumes by Brent Barkhaus, and sound by Elizabeth Rhodes.

Running time for Indiscretions is 2 hours, with two 10-minute intermissions.
