MetroStage Presents Lonely Planet, a Contemporary Absurdist Classic

Full Price:
$45.00 - $50.00
Our Price:
$22.50 - $25.00

There's more than meets the eye to Lonely Planet, the acclaimed two-character play from one of America's most widely produced playwrights, Steven Dietz. In a map shop in an unidentified American city, Carl, a regular customer, keeps delivering chairs to Jody, the shop's reclusive proprietor. Are the chairs just Carl's eccentric obsession? Or are they a symbol of some hidden tragedy? MetroStage's production of Dietz's modern classic is by turns hilarious and heartbreaking, as Jody and Carl struggle to maintain their friendship and deal with a changing world that can't be contained on Carl's maps.

The performers delivered Broadway quality performances. They were absolutely wonderful, particularly the female actress who played the dual parts of Josie's mother and Bessie Smith.

From its inception until 1996, MetroStage operated out of a series of converted storefronts on Duke Street, until redevelopment in the area required their demolition.
