Development (a world premiere by Warren Doody)

Linda — Sat, 25 Feb 2012 21:34:18 +0000

Walter, 50s-60s, a formerly successful businessman, who, twenty years earlier, disappeared, re-appears on his deathbed in a hospital in the middle of the California desert. His two sons – Cliff, 20s-30s; Travis, 30s-40s – are notified, and they converge upon the desert to say their goodbyes and make peace with their father. Travis, after his father ran away, ran away, too, so the reunion at the hospital is multi-faceted. It is soon revealed that Walter is schizophrenic. The play moves back and forth in time, dramatizing the beginnings of Walter’s illness, the violent outcome, and the generational and genetic risk that it carries for the two sons.

Nora is a vibrant young housewife who nonetheless suffers from a crippling dependency on her husband, Torvald. In order to save him from a debt, and to spare his masculine pride, Nora arranges a loan without his knowledge, and does so by forging a signature. The inevitable revelation of the crime results in an unexpected reaction from Torvald. The illusions behind their marriage are exposed, and Nora wakes to feelings of self awareness for the first time in her life. They are husband and wife, yes, but they are strangers as well.

When Richard Willey, a U.S. Congressman, plans to spend the evening with Jane Worthington, one of the opposition’s administrative aides, things go disastrously wrong – beginning with the discovery of a “body” trapped in the hotel’s only unreliable window. Desperately trying to get out of a potentially headline-making situation, Richard calls for his assistant, George. However, with a conniving waiter, a suspicious hotel manager, an alert private detective, an angry wife, a furious husband, a bungling secretary, an unconscious nurse and a dead body to deal with, this is not the romantic evening Richard had planned.
