The Designated Mourner
Son of Semele Theater
Los Angeles, CA
****LA TIMES Critics Pick****
Pay What You Can Performances on June 2 & 5!!!
"The Designated Mourner" is not unlike a literary-puzzle to be deciphered by its audience. Non-linear and thickly-layered, the play takes place in an imaginary country where tension between the privileged and the impoverished has generated fears of revolt among the elite, and has motivated the government to remove anyone capable of igniting such an event. The story is voiced through three distinct points-of-view: Jack, a scholar of English literature; his wife Judy, a highly intellectual and privileged young woman; and Judys father Howard, a successful author with ties to the government whose sympathetic voice for the oppressed now endangers his very life and the lives of those around him. Rarely addressing one another directly, these three narrators explore class, culture and the role of the self in a divided country.
Note: There is NO LATE SEATING.
