Spreckels Theatre Company presents"The Book of Matthew," written and directed by Gene Abravaya.
A struggling, hapless, unpublished novelist gets the chance to rewrite his future in this comedy about the seriousness of life.
Matthew Leibowitz, a 40-year old wisecracking, unpublished novelist holds fast to his dreams despite unrelenting disapproval from his wife and extended family. Facing divorce, misunderstood by his practical brother and sister-in-law and in denial about his recently widowed father - Matthew's disheveled life (and New York apartment) could use some resemblance of order.
Things take a turn when Matthew and his flamboyant, eavesdropping neighbor care for Matthew's elderly, uncommunicative father.
"Since first being produced in 2009, 'The Book of Matthew' has undergone numerous changes. It is now more streamlined, faster paced and thought-provoking. I wanted to have the chance to have it seen and experienced with these changes, in the setting it deserves," said playwright and director Gene Abravaya, who also serves as the Artistic Director of the Spreckels Theatre Company. "The story is timeless because it's about the struggle that takes place in all of us over being practical or living our dreams."
This play contains adult language.
