The Dining Room by A.R Gurney

by A.R. Gurney

Directed by Scott Hamilton

The play is set in the dining room of a typical well-to-do household, the place where family assembled daily for breakfast and dinner. The action is a mosaic of interrelated scenes - some funny, some touching, some rueful. Each vignette introduces as a new set of people and events; a father lectures his son on grammar and politics, a senile grandmother doesn't recognize her own sons at Thanksgiving dinner, a daughter, her marriage in shambles, pleads to return home and more. Dovetailing swiftly and smoothly, the varied scenes coalesce, ultimately, into a theatrical experience of exceptional range, compassionate humor and abundant humanity.
