The Suffield Players Present a Double-Dose of One-Act Humor- Play Readings

The Suffield Players will be at the library tonight, Thursday, January 27, to perform a reading of Dorothy Parker’s comedy, Here We Are and A pair of Lunatics by W. R. Walkes.

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 naïve 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.

A Pair of Lunatics-

A young man and woman, visintg the insane asylum, mistake one another for lunatics.

The  free performances will be presented at 7:00 p.m. in the auditorium of the library.
