Players Club of Swarthmore to Present David Mamet's RACE, Opening 3/13

The Players Club of Swarthmore presents Race by David Mamet, directed on the PCS Second Stage by Adam Young of Lansdowne. The cast includes Darryl Bell of Elkins Park, Peter Haas of Folcroft, Sabrina Hall of Philadelphia, and Nicholas Wilde of Media.

Race opens on Friday, March 13 at 8:00 p.m. Additional performances are March 14, 20, 21, 27, and 28 at 8:00 p.m. Tickets, $10 each, are available at the door. Seating is general admission.

A wealthy man asks a pair of lawyers to defend his case: he is charged with raping a black woman. A courtroom drama, both heated and very funny, explodes within the lawyers' office as they and their pretty black legal assistant debate whether to take the case. Opinions fly, prejudices are revealed, weaknesses are exploited and brutal truths emerge, all culminating in a plot-twisting surprise ending. Because of strong language and adult subject matter, Race is not recommended for pre-teens.

There will be an opening night reception at 7:00 on Friday, March 13. The Players Club is located at 614 Fairview Road in Swarthmore, www.pcstheater.org. PCS Second Stage shows are not handicapped-accessible.
