Mint Theater to Present One-Night "Further Reading" of Waters of the Moon

Mint Theater Company has announced plans to present a one-night "Further Reading" of Waters of the Moon by N.C. Hunter on August 15 at The Beckett Theatre.

The evening will feature an introduction by guest speaker Charles Duff, who began his career in 1967 as an actor in N.C. Hunter’s The Adventures of Tom Random, and later went on to write about the original production of Waters of the Moon in his book, The Lost Summer: The Heyday of the West End Theatre.

Waters of the Moon centers on the lonely inhabitants of a secluded hotel who live out their days in genteel poverty. When a winter storm brings the arrival of the glamorous and outspoken Helen Lancaster, whose car and family have become snowbound on the way to a New Year’s Eve party, the hotel’s residents are forced to confront their resigned and isolated lives.

Mint Associate Director Jesse Marchese directs a cast that features Carolyn McCormick, Paxton Whitehead, Delphi Harrington, Helen Cespedes, Cynthia Darlow, Ben Diskant, Clemmie Evans, Michael Frederic, Aedin Moloney, and Hans Tester .

Mint’s "Further Readings" program is an ongoing series of concert-style play readings that offers audiences an opportunity to delve deeper into the work of Mint Theater playwrights.

The Beckett Theatre is currently home to Mint’s production of Hunter’s A Day By The Sea, opening August 25.
