Grace on Broadway -- Paul Rudd and Michael Stanton with Kate Arrington and Ed Asner By Craig Wright. Directed by Dexter Bullard
As described by official press -- "In alternating scenes of hilarity and poignancy, life turns surreal for an eclectic foursome whose destinies collide in the Sunshine State. A wide-eyed young couple (RUDD & ARRINGTON) head south with big plans to open a chain of Gospel-themed motels. When an agitated rocket scientist (SHANNON) and a prickly pest-control man (ASNER) enter the picture, the couple's ordered world is thrown into utter chaos.
GRACE examines those elusive paradoxes: Believing vs. Knowing, Love vs. Loyalty, Coincidence vs. Fate. Don't miss this intensely entertaining and provocative Broadway Premiere!"
My thoughts --
The set -- rattan sofa, chair, and dinette set, silk potted plant, sliding glass doors, wooden entry door. The play utilizes the set simultaneously as two apartments represented by a single set.
The sequence of the play begins with the ending. The action moving backwards to "rewind" and "play" at the beginning and toward the end. The actor's movements were precisely mirrored moving forward and backward in repeating dialogue.
The play ran with no intermission.
