So Many Words

Theater Schmeater presents So Many Words, by Roger Rueff. The play addresses the age-old masculine question: What happens when the “right” woman knocks at your door, and your wife answers?

For Katherine and Stanley, a quick trip to Washington DC for Stanley to accept a prestigious literary award is interrupted by the presence of Pamela, an alluring and intelligent young devotee whom he had just met on the plane into town. Pamela’s world view manifests Stanley’s unstated philosophical writings in all too human form. Flirtatious banter quickly escalates into a serious challenge to his marriage, his carefully constructed life, and the philosophical foundation of his being. Brutal truth overwhelms fragile, barely whispered hope in this arresting play that exposes love, marriage and contentment to blinding scrutiny.
