CANOPY

FRANCES and DANA are both in their seventies.

 

In this play, both characters are played by a man and a woman — Two roles shared among four actors.

 

A coin toss accents transitions throughout — So that the roles are assigned randomly from scene to scene.

 

Not only are we seeing folks onstage who are older, because that’s rare as hen’s teeth, we’re also seeing a play about two men or two women or a man and a woman — In a slippery, permeable random chance experiment.

 

My hope as a writer? It’s just about love — And the patience love requires. 

Cast:
