This original work by E.M. Hodge was presented as a workshop with talk back sessions at the NoHo Arts Center in March of 2015.
An Iraqi War vet and the woman he inadvertently kidnaps become trapped not only with each other but their own personal demons as the worst snow storms in history isolate them in a cabin in the woods. A play about connection, dealing with inner turmoil, and the need to heal even when it doesn't seem possible..... RUNNING MARCH 2nd - MARCH 16th 2018 |
OPENS APRIL 26th, 2018
Jack is a former jeweller who made his living buying and selling diamonds via late-night TV ads. He lives in a rather luxurious, privately-owned retirement home along with his fellow residents: the visually challenged techno-wizard Rose, the artistically gifted but forgetful Flora, and the narcoleptic beauty Blanche. Unbeknownst to the four of them, however, the man to whom they’ve entrusted their life savings - a smooth-talking financial advisor named Barney Effward - has been arrested for bilking his clients out of their savings through a Ponzi scheme. Faced with financial ruin, the four suddenly find themselves confronting the author of their miserable fate when Effward is unexpectedly delivered among them – along with several million dollars in diamonds. Pandemonium ensues as the four retirees try to find a way to exact their revenge, recoup their losses, and keep the authorities from discovering their plans.

CHARACTER BREAKDOWNS:
JACK NEWMAN: 55-75, A successful businessman, former jeweler and late-night TV pitchman, highly energetic
ROSE: 55-75, An independent, feisty old bird, a real technophile as she is always on her phone or computer with social media posting and chatting away
BLANCHE: 55-75, Yes, Blanche from the Golden Girls comes to mind and... she has narcolepsy
BARNEY EFFWARD: 35-55, Charming con man, A Bernie Madoff type
*MORTIMER: 30-50, Uptight hypochondriac lawyer
*WILF GUNNARSON: 65-95, Almost completely deaf, but totally with it guy - small supporting role ideal for anyone who wants to get on stage but maybe doesn't have the time or memory muscle for a big part. Really fun role.
*POLICEMAN: 40s, straight laced humorless, real by the book type.
*These three characters may be played by the same actor according the to notes from the playwright so if possible, I will cast it as such despite the age differences in these characters as listed above.
