Theatre Out, Orange County's gay and lesbian theatre, will present Richard Greenberg's comedy-drama The Violet Hour. John Pace Seavering is a new publisher faced with the dilemma of having too many potential books to publish and not enough money to publish them all.
Of the utmost concern to John: if he can only publish one book does he choose the memoirs of his African American jazz singer lover, Jessie Brewster, or the somewhat incoherent volumes submitted by his best friend? The dilemma complicates itself even more when a strange machine arrives at the office. This machine produces pages from books not yet written and shows John very clearly how important his decision really is as the consequences of publishing or not publishing each book become clear.
The New York Times raves that The Violet Hour is, "a wonderful new work?of serious whimsy, of glittering style and dark substance?" And the Chicago Sun-Times says, "Richard Greenberg's luminous, mysterious, emotionally churning tragicomedy, The Violet Hour, is a wondrous piece of work?This is the kind of bewitching play that makes theater a world unto itself."Directed by Frankie Marrone
