The Graves of San Andreas

The Sight Unseen Theatre Group presents the world premiere of The Graves of San Andreas. The latest offering from the rapidly budding new theatre company, Sight Unseen, and acclaimed writer/director Andy Mitton, the play combines equal parts comedy, drama, and horror, in an unusual, colorful, and twisted story that examines the endangered identity of actors.

It’s 1932 and inside a luxurious penthouse in the Hollywood Hills, Murray Maddox is polishing his shotgun while his wife Sadie says a prayer. Film stars aspiring to the likes of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, their lives are about to meet a violent end. In 2003, Dale and Evie are coming to a party in that same penthouse. Young actors looking for a break, they are thrown into a whirlwind night with a cast of characters increasingly strange and drunk. When Dale dips into the bright green party punch, past and present collide and he finds himself talking to Murray Maddox himself. As Dale’s own marriage and integrity are tested by the temptations of Hollywood, he looks for answers in Murray’s story as it unfolds towards its grisly conclusion.
