Synopsis
A married couple waits at the mall for their son to pick them up in their fancy new car. It is a perfect capitalist pastoral: springtime flower pots overflow, Mom munches a bag of peanuts and Dad cradles his new pet goldfish in a bag. But when their son fails to arrive, their lives are changed irrevocably.FIRST LOOK REPERTORY OF NEW WORK
First Look is an inaugural program featuring developmental productions of three new plays in rotating repertory (A Blameless Life, The Sparrow Project, and Men of Tortuga). Accompanying the performances is a series of readings, lectures and events regarding the development of new work.Running Time
