Rodney’s Wife

Richard Nelson’s Rodney’s Wife opens in Rome of 1962, and it seems to a group of visiting Americans like the far edge of the known world. Rodney, a movie actor, is filming one of the first “Spaghetti Westerns.” His twenty-five year old daughter, his recently widowed sister, and his manager all accompany him. But it is his wife Faye who finds herself at the center of this story of loss, disorientation, emotional confusion and human desire.
