ORPHANS

Orphans, by Lyle Kessler, is the fascinating, intriguing and
comedic story of two grown orphan brothers, deserted in childhood by their father
and by the death of their mother. Older brother Treat, provides for his younger
brother, Phillip, by being a petty thief. With the love and protectiveness of
an older brother and an orphan's fear of abandonment, Treat takes away
Phillip's chances to grow up. Treat kidnaps a Chicago gangster named Harold.
Harold – an orphan himself – loosens the ties that bind him & turns the
tables around, freeing both brothers from their emotional confinement. “In
the 40-year history of ART Station this is one of the top productions the ART Station
Theatre has ever produced.” – David Thomas, Artistic Director.
