Bosoms and Neglect at Aurora Begins 6/15

Berkeley's acclaimed Aurora Theatre Company closes its 15th season with Bosoms and Neglect, critically acclaimed playwright John Guare's (Six Degrees of Separation, The House of Blue Leaves) 1978 pre-Prozac comedy about love and psychotherapy. Bay Area theatre veteran Joy Carlin directs this brilliantly biting, off-center comedy starring Cassidy Brown, Joan Mankin, and Beth Wilmurt.

"In Bosoms and Neglect, a thrice-weekly psychiatric patient, meets Deirdre, a woman with a five-visits-a-week habit, in the waiting room of their shared psychiatrist," explains press notes, "When the good doctor goes on vacation, they turn to each other and begin an affair that gives new dimension to the phrase 'crazy love,' with both ending up in the hospital. Eventually, the accident-prone lovers, along with Scooper's ailing mother, who waves a plastic statue of St. Jude around in an attempt to heal herself, realize that their wounds are far deeper than what hospital bandages can cover."

Previews are June 15, 16 & 20 at 8PM and June 17 at 2PM.  Opening is June 21 at 8PM with performances through July 22.  Show times are Wednesdays – Saturdays at 8PM and Sundays at 2 & 7PM.

The Aurora Theatre is located at 2081 Addison Street, Berkeley, CA.
