WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Partial Comfort Productions presents the world premiere of The Main(e) Play by Chad Beckim, directed by Obie Award winner Robert O'Hara. The production stars Michael Gladis (best known as Paul Kinsey on AMC's critically acclaimed series Mad Men).
The play explores the colliding worlds of two brothers: Shane, a New York City actor desperate to connect to the sanctity of home, and his younger brother Roy, a single stay-at-home dad and sole caretaker of a dysfunctional seven-year-old. A return to Maine for Thanksgiving forces the brothers to confront the loss of tradition, raising the question: what happens when what was, is no longer?

Despite being saddled with a rather terrible title, Chad Beckim's The Main(e) Play, getting its world premiere at the Lion Theater, is a provocative drama that examines issues such as single parenthood and abortion from a fresh perspective. By focusing on two male characters in relation to these hot-button topics, Beckim explores territory seldom represented in theater, while still refusing to come up with any easy answers.
Brothers Roy (Michael Gladis) and Shane (Alexander Alioto) have taken wildly divergent paths in life. Roy stayed home in Maine, had a son named Jay, divorced his wife, and is raising his boy -- who seems to be an absolute terror -- on his own. Shane took off to New York[...]
