About This Show
The Fourth Wall tells the story of Peggy, a frustrated housewife whose children have left
the roost, and who feels boxed in by life and reacts by obsessing over the current
political climate. Peggy has changed her conservative living room to resemble a
theater’s stage, leaving one wall blank. She wants to break through that fourth wall
because she believes there are people to connect to beyond that space. Her
husband Roger, concerned about his wife’s unconventional behavior, calls in an
oversexed New York social climber and home decorator, Julia, and a pompous
college drama professor, Floyd, to help him make sense of his wife’s actions.
Peggy, obsessed with the rise of the conservative Republican party in America,
finds in Floyd a kindred spirit who encourages her Joan-of-Arc-like quest to right
the wrongs of the right — a journey that may just have to take her beyond that
mythical fourth wall.
