HOT CAST DEBUT IN SEXY CRIME COMEDY
Original Creative Writing:
John Patrick Shanley
John Patrick Shanley's Italian American Reconciliation for Sydney Season
Oscar - Tony - and Pulitzer Prize-winning writer John Patrick Shanley's passionate comedy is subtitled a folktale
Teresa loves Huey. Huey loves Teresa, but a piece of him still belongs to his ex-wife Janice.
And Janice wants to take pieces out of everyone - She shot his dog and even took a bead on him. But Huey feels he cannot regain his manhood until he woos and wins her one more time - if only to put his broken marriage behind him once and for all. So he asks his best friend, Aldo, to help. And that's when it gets complicated.
Aldo, a confirmed bachelor, tries without apparent success to convince Huey that he would be better off sticking with his new love, Teresa. She's a placid young waitress whose indignation nevertheless flares when she learns what Huey is up to.
In a moonlit balcony scene (hilariously reminiscent of Cyrano de Bergerac) Aldo pleads his lovesick friend's case and, to his astonishment, Janice capitulates -though not for long. We do find out, however, that her earlier abuse of Huey was intended to make him "act like a man" which finally he does. More than that, Huey (and the audience) learn that, in the final essence, "the greatest and only success is to be able to love" - a truth which emerges delightfully from this heartwarming, and imaginatively-conceived play.
John Patrick Shanley's Italian American Reconciliation is coming to Newtown Theatre for a four week season from April 20 to May 15.
Directed by and starring Eddie Khalil along with Romy Teperson, Louise Bartok, Charles Billeh and Amanda Marsden, this is a romantic fable for our times featuring a hot young cast. Think Pulp Fiction meets Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. Or Cyrano meets Underbelly!
Italian American Reconciliation is a ballsy, earthy and very funny debut play for new kid on the block Edison Kane Productions.
