Boston Marriage

Boston Marriage by David Mamet

Directed by Shannon "Max" MacMillan
Featuring Julie Baber, Monica Hammond, and Claire Mannle
Scenic Design by Leslie Delavan
Lighting Design by Tom Leger
 
One of America's most revered and provocative dramatists, David Mamet conquers new territory with this droll comedy of errors set in a Victorian drawing room. Anna and Claire are two bantering, scheming "women of fashion" who have long lived together on the fringes of upper-class society. Anna has just become the mistress of a wealthy man, from whom she has received an enormous emerald and an income to match. Claire, meanwhile, is infatuated with a respectable young lady and wants to enlist the jealous Anna's help for an assignation. As the two women exchange barbs and take turns taunting Anna's hapless Scottish parlor maid, Claire's young inamorata suddenly appears, setting off a crisis that puts both the valuable emerald and the women's futures at risk. To this wickedly funny comedy, Mamet brings his trademark tart dialogue and impeccable plotting, spiced with Wildean wit.

About 20%
The 20% Theatre Company is dedicated to reversing the percentages of working women in the theatre. A rough estimate states that only 20% of working actors today are women, and there are even less working female directors, producers, designers and technicians. The 20% Company aims to reverse these percentages to properly reflect the female majority in the theatre through women-heavy casts, innovative cross-gender casting, and focusing on the voices of female playwrights while simultaneously tapping into the grossly under-represented population of female directors, producers, technicians, and designers. The 20% Company also welcomes and supports transgendered, transsexual, and gender-queer theatre artists, and includes self-identified women in their push for women's voices in the theatre. 20%Co recognizes that men in the theatre are one of our greatest allies and resources in helping to achieve our goals of reversing the female minority, and we welcome them in our work.
