The Rimers of EldritchBy Lanford WilsonDirected by Carl Overly Jr.Kranzberg Black Box, Kranzberg Art Center | 501 N. Grand BlvdFebruary 24 27 2021As Martin Gottfried comments, It is a simple one. A mystery, really. A man has been murdered. The mystery is, who he is, who murdered him and what were the circumstances? And to solve it, Wilson looks at the outsides and insides of his tiny, Middle Western town. He looks at a middle-aging woman who falls in love with the young man who comes to work in her cafe. He looks at a coarse, nasty woman mistreating her senile mother, who is obsessed with visions of Eldritch being evil and headed for blood-spilling. He looks at a tender relationship between a young man and a dreamy, crippled girl. But Wilson sees far more than this. He is grasping the very fabric of Bible Belt America, with its catchword morality (virgin, God-fearing) and its capability for the vicious. He senses the rhythm of its life and the cruelty it can impose. He understands the speech patterns of its loveless gossips, its sex-hungry boys, its compassionless preachers, its car-conscious blondes. In the end Wilsons portrait of Eldritch is full length, and the truth of its revelations will be pondered long after the stage lights have dimmed, and the play has ended.Tickets and season subscriptions for the 20212022 Theatre & Dance will begin sales on August 2, 2021.
