The Caltech Playreaders 2021-2022: The 71st Season
All of our events will be held at 7:30 pm |
This performance has been postponed to a later date.
Avery returns home after eight years abroad to introduce his fiancée, Gillian, to his erratic family: his parents, Evelyn and Stanford, his Aunt Ester, and his 97-year-old grandmother Nana. He finds that they have gone even further off the rails than when he left: a daft, though lovable, band of eccentrics who seem only distantly connected to reality, living in a house that itself is tilting ever more askew. The homecoming, at first comical, turns into something else altogether, a genuine reckoning for all with both the joys and the painful realities of life. This family's denial of reality evokes the line from Man of La Mancha: "perhaps maddest of all is seeing life as it is and not as it should be." "37 Postcards" is presented by special arrangement with Playscripts, Inc.
