OBLIVION - March 19-22, 2015
The hands-down winner of The Audience Favorite Award at The Fourth Annual Festival of Shorts, and slated for publication in Best Ten-Minute Plays of 2014 (Smith / Kraus), Edmonds Driftwood Players is proud to present the extended 90-minute version of the play Oblivion, written by Paul Lewis, at the Wade James Theatre March 19-22.
A divorced American doctor in her mid-50s travels to Montevideo, Uruguay in search of the tango instructor with whom she fell in love thirty years before. Embarking on a rough journey through layers of memory, she finds herself reliving their dangerous, erotically charged love affair—a brief liaison set against the backdrop of a politically volatile city— until her pursuit brings her face-to-face with devastating answers to the questions that have haunted her for decades.
Directed by Paul Fleming, Oblivion is a part of the Spotlight on Local Playwrights through Driftwood’s Theatre of Intriguing Possibilities (TIPs). TIPs focuses on new plays, topical subjects and edgier fare.
