OVERVIEW

  • Playwright

    Patrick Talbot 

  • Adapted / Translated From

    Raymond Carver

  • Author Notes

    Adapted from the short stories "Intimacy," "Elephant" and "Gazebo" by Raymond Carver.
  • Setting

    A meeting hall, somewhere in the American North West. Time: Not so long ago.

  • Synopsis

    Three very ordinary men are brought together to share some not so ordinary experiences about their lives. They are coming to terms with sudden and unexpected trauma. A father is grappling with the lunatic financial demands being made on him by one of his children; another is wrestling with the infidelity of his young and beautiful wife, while the third man is trying to understand his disturbing obsession with his ex-wife. Is redemption to be found in sharing these stories? Or does the telling not alter anything in the end?
