Simon Gray
opens at the
Actors Workshop Theatre on
Friday, January 26, at 8pm
In this
scathing dark comedy, a
bright successful man
isolates himself
from the daily
hassles of family and
friends with disastrous
results
About
the Production
Simon Hench, a
brilliant and
successful man, has become
totally fed up with the
mundane issues and
problems of family, friends,
and associates. He zealously
tries to
insulate himself by
withdrawing ever inward,
while maintaining a
clever, buoyant passive
aggressiveness whenever his
safe isolation is
threatened. The more he
recedes from them, the more
assiduously they
try to reach him with their
issues. Reach him they do,
right to his
core as his world turns ugly
in the midst of a darkly
funny and
uniquely insightful play
regarding the rules of
engagement with others,
from spouse to strangers.
