Angels Fall

The world could end at any moment.
Do you have faith in the path you’ve chosen?

Simpatico Theatre Project concludes their second season with Lanford Wilson’s Angels Fall. The roads are closed; nobody is getting in or out. A group of strangers, each at a critical turning point in their lives, tests their faith in their careers, their relationships, and in themselves while stranded at a lonely little church on a remote Navajo reservation. Will they continue along the same path, or will one day change their course forever?

Professor Niles Harris and his wife Vita are traveling to a psychiatric institute after his dramatic emotional breakdown in front of his class.

Marion Clay is tying up her recently deceased husband’s assets while traveling with her new boyfriend, Zappy, a young professional tennis player.

Following an accident at a uranium mine in Northwest New Mexico, two couples find themselves stranded at a church in the middle of the desert. They interrupt an argument between Don Tabaha, a young half-Navajo doctor who is leaving for a job at a wealthy cancer institute in California, and his priest, Father Doherty, who wants him to stay on the reservation and help his people. With Don temporarily stranded, his gut-wrenching decision incites debate and discovery for all the characters of the play, each struggling to find their own path.

Angels Fall is a play about deciding how to spend the time you have on this earth; after all, you never know when it might be too late. Carol Laratonda directs.
