A STAGED READING OF EXCERPTS FROM OLD FLAME
7pm-8:30pm Monday 23 February
Lynn Redgrave Theater
45 Bleecker Street, NYC (between Bowery and Lafayette--6 train to Bleecker)

By Richard Ploetz Directed by James Glossman
With Frank Anderson, Prentiss Benjamin, Jerry Matz, Paul Murphy, Linda Setzer

When Mike Ripley, Barbara Marchand's bad-boy high-school boyfriend from half a century ago, surprises her with a phone call on their shared birthday, Barbara and Frank's 50-year marriage is shaken. Carrying a torch for "Babs" all these years, Mike arrives from Florida with his much younger Serbian girlfriend, Leonora. Feeling the chill of mortality Mike wants a last look at his old flame.

The two couples form an unlikely --and increasingly untenable-- friendship that causes them each to question who they are and what they want. Marshall, the Marchands' 50-year-old son, awash in his own marital confusion, finds himself the reluctant arbiter in his parents' ménage-a-quatre.

OLD FLAME considers the question "What is Love" - and does it change over time.
