SIGHT UNSEEN by Donald Margulies to be Performed in Larchmont

LARCHMONT, NY - SIGHT UNSEEN is a play by Donald Margulies, acclaimed author of Time Stands Still, Dinner with Friends among many others that the M&M Performing Arts Company has performed in the past. The play centers on Brooklyn-born Jonathan Waxman who has become a very wealthy, critically acclaimed artist. Happily married and with a baby on the way, he travels to London for a retrospective of his work. While there, he impulsively decides to journey to the countryside to visit his former model and muse, Patricia, in the Norfolk farmhouse where she lives and works with her archeologist husband Nick, a man she married in order to remain in England when her student visa expired. The play unfolds exploring issues of identity, home, and the place of art in our society.

Sponsored by The Friends of the Larchmont Public Library, SIGHT UNSEEN will be performed in the Larchmont Village Center at 4:00pm on Sunday, October 11. Refreshments will be available at 3:30pm. The performance is free and all are welcome.

Margulies won the Obie Award for Best New American Play, and was nominated for the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, the Outer Critics Circle Award for Best Off-Broadway Play, and the John Gassner Award, presented to a new American playwright.
