WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
The Alchemy Theatre Company of Manhattan presents Umbrella, by L. Pontius, directed by Padraic Lillis.
Umbrella is a mix of tragedy and comedy about the loneliness and despair of living in a big city and the choices we make to relieve the pressure. Helen and Frank are two strangers on a rooftop; one a peeping Tom, the other a cutter. They try to fins a common ground, but it all changes as taboos and secrets are revealed and dreams fall apart. What began as an act of kindness turns into a war of wills.

As the play opens, Frank (Judson Jones) has brought the troubled Helen (Christa Kimlicko Jones) up to his building's rooftop, where they share cigarettes and trade stories of their sad, frustrated lives. The details the characters disclose during their interaction are interesting enough, but the way they exchange such information feels overly f[...]
