PRESS  RELEASE

Redtwist announces the opening of
A Delicate Balance
By Edward Albee
on Saturday, September 25, at 3pm
Directed by Steve Scott
Artistic Associate, Goodman Theatre

Featuring company members Brian Parry, Jacqueline Grandt, and Jan Ellen Graves with guest artists Millicent Hurley, Chuck Spencer, and Cece Klinger

Mr. Albee prohibits reviews of this production as a condition in the granting of the rights to Redtwist.

The Pulitzer Prize-winning drama about an upper middle-class family whose world is shaken and stirred when their lifelong friends come to stay because of the unspoken terror within.

The Play
A gaggle of damaged souls just wants the fear inside to stop. They are screaming into the abyss of their own emptiness while tossing acidic barbs at each other. Their words have clever and elegant precision, yet they stem from a tumultuous world of inner chaos. In Albee’s landmark drama, very little happens on the outside, yet their riveting story unfolds with gripping power and exhilarating force, revealing casualties in every closet.
