One Shoe Off
Author(s):
Tina Howe
This comedy about marriage, fidelity, adulterous longings, existential panic and the theatre takes place in Leonard and Dinah's up-state New York Greek revival farmhouse where
slow-moving disintegration is at work. Rooms are drifting into each other and trees and saplings have taken toot indoors. Leonard is an actor who hasn't worked in
eleven years; Dinah is an overworked costume designer who can't dress herself. They have invited their new neighbors, an overworked editor who delights in reciting nursery rhymes and his beautiful movie starter wife, for dinner. Things explode when a friend who is a successful movie director, drops in. Old memories stir and new passions kindle as vegetables and Dinah's costumes fly. "Rich, gorgeous and compelling. It is about such good things as love, art, acting and survival, magic and marriage, nursery tales and ghost stories. . . . This is an exquisite, funny
play."-N.Y Post. "A mad-hatter blowout."-Newsday. "Howe creates a high wire act of verbal and visual images. . . . This is high comedy."-Theatre Week.
