[Capdist-announce] THE COCKTAIL HOUR by A.R. Gurney

[Theater Voices]

Theater Voices will present THE COCKTAIL HOUR by A.R. Gurney, its  
final production of the 2007-2008 season, on the weekend of May 30- 
June 1.

Performances of THE COCKTAIL HOUR will be given at Steamer No. 10  
Theatre, 500 Western Avenue in Albany, on Friday, May 30 at 8:00 PM;  
Saturday, May 31 at 3:00PM and 8:00 PM; and Sunday, June 1 at 3:00  
PM. Admission is free.

In this delightful comedy-drama, a playwright brings home to his  
family a new script that brings about a series of recriminations and  
revelations about them and the Upper-class WASP life in America that  
they represent.  Partially modeled on Gurney’s own family, the plays’  
erudite dialogue perfectly reflects the mixture of satire, affection,  
and sympathy characteristic of Gurney’s work. The results have been  
described by critics as “delicious” and “delectable.”

  A.R. Gurney is the author of numerous celebrated works, including  
LOVE LETTERS, THE DINING ROOM, and THE PERFECT PARTY.

To celebrate its twentieth anniversary, Theater Voices is restaging  
some of its most popular past productions. THE COCKTAIL HOUR was  
first performed by the company in 1999. The director of this  
production is Judy Spevack, who has acted in many Theater Voices  
productions, and who directed the company’s original production of  
THE COCKTAIL HOUR.
