Description
Variety says, "Once this production has completed its current run, it should definitely have the legs to move up to a larger venue or even a run off-Broadway." So don't miss your chance to see it now, before it's gone!
Sunset Park, written by Marley Sims and Elliot Shoenman, is a comedy/drama that takes place in Brooklyn and explores the contemporary problem of people living longer and facing a myriad of new problems, including more medical conditions and running out of money.
The main character is Evelyn Horowitz, a widow in her seventies who lives by herself and is a part-time teacher. Her apartment building is going co-op and when her middle-aged children hear about it, they encourage her to buy; rising real estate prices will secure her future - and enable them to "cash out" when she's gone.
About the Ticket Supplier: Inkwell Theater
The Inkwell theater company is dedicated to producing new works that value the writer; a company where young artists and veterans alike can work in an environment of experimentation, support, and collaboration.
In the spring 2004, the company presented Only the Dead Know Burbank by Peter Lefcourt, followed by The Architect of Destiny by 25-year old Michael Gianakos; and Tango 'Til They're Sore, written and directed by 25-year-old Matthew Hancock. The company's fourth play, Sunset Park, by Marley Sims and Elliot Shoenman, ran for fourteen weeks and was published by Samuel French. Then came Michael Halperin's All Steps Necessary, which was based on a meeting called by Hermann Goering three days after the Kristallnacht pogrom. In 2007, Inkwell produced Moment in the Sun and in 2008 Old Glories. 2011 brought the Ovation-nominated production AfterMath, starring Annie Potts.
