On Thursday, January 27, The Suffield Players will be at the library to perform a reading of Dorothy Parkers comedy, Here We Are. An unnamed young man and young woman are traveling in a train car. After a few moments of awkward chit-chat, they reveal they are newly married and on their way to a hotel in New York, where they intend to consummate the union. Both the man and the woman are naive and highly nervous about what is coming, and instead fill the silence with trivial talk - about the bridesmaids, about the new bride's hat - which quickly turns to bickering as each of the two, in turn, finds fault with a careless comment the other has made. The dialogue reveals that both the bride and the groom are thoughtless and selfish, and that their hours-old marriage is already on thin ice.
The performance will be presented at 7:00pm on the upper level of the library.
