Tickets now on sale
Tickets for Edward Albee's play, "A Delicate Balance," are now on sale at the University Theatre Box Office. Box office hours are 10:20-12 a.m. and 1-5 p.m.
The Pulitzer-Prize-winning play will be performed Dec. 10 to 13 in the University Theatre, with a 2:30 p.m. matinee Dec. 15.
"A Delicate Balance" takes place in a typically urbane Albee interior where egos are raw and the language is rawer. Six people act out the ritual funeral of a forty-year relationship and bury with it an American myth.
Agnes and Tobias are living out their late middle age in comfortable indifference. Their permanent houseguest Claire, Agnes' sister, is making a determined effort to live out hers in an alcoholic stupor.
Into this "delicate balance" come two disrupting influences: the return home of Agnes and Tobias' 36-year-old daughter, Julia, trailing behind her the remnants of a fourth broken marriage, and the unexpected arrival of their oldest friends,
Harry and Edna, pursued by a numbing, nameless fear.
"A Delicate Balance" is directed by Thomas R. Long, visiting professor in speech and dramatics. Assistant director and stage manager is Michael Pedretti, Lawrence graduate student.
Resident actors in the production are Eugene Casassa, Lawrence; Billi Dawn Wolfe, Lomira, Wis., and Neil Fenter, Holgate, Ohio. Other members are Janet Jensen, Fremont, Neb., senior; Cherie Shuck, Atchison junior, and Cheryl Burnet, Oklahoma City junior.
