Quartet No. 1 for Three Characters and Cello — A Mysterious Romance

San Francisco playwright Dan Harder creates a world steeped in mystery and romance…where fates can turn on a dime and destiny is not written in stone.

Sara, a white woman, and Eddie, a black man, have disappeared. Did these two lovers run away to escape the prejudices of family and friends? Or is there something more sinister attributed to their vanishing off the face of the planet?

Told with Harder’s inventive style of Zipperz poetry, the play’s story and music are interwoven where the cello is given equal weight to the dialogue. Alan Quismorio directs.
