The Shadow Box

Pay: No Pay

Description:

This dramatic triptych follows three cancer patients who dwell in separate cottages on a hospital's grounds. Winning the Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 1977, it is a play of great subtlety that, without melodrama or romanticism, explores the lives of individuals who are faced with clear expiration dates. Taking place within a 24 hour period, it portrays the humanity of these patients and their visitors doing what people do when confronted with questions that are too big to answer - speaking bluntly, laughing at dark humor, reminiscing, and showing concern for the future of others.

Seeking actors of all ages and ethnicities.
