(CAPE MAY, NJ) -- Cape May Stage's Reading Series presents The One Good Thing Or "Are Ya Patrick Swayze"? by Joe Bravaco on Monday, August 12, 2024 at the Robert Shackleton Playhouse. The event is free to attend (donations are accepted) and takes place at 7:00pm.
In the play, two brothers (Jamie and Tommy) share a small cottage in Enniskeel, Ireland, a fictional town on the cliffs of the Irish Sea. One morning, after a severe lashing of rain, Jamie makes an astonishing declaration. He announces that he is dead, a ghost. Tommy, naturally, is unconvinced and maintains that his brother’s delusion is caused by the grief Jamie has suffered since their mother’s death. With humor and pathos, the men explore a trail of love, grief, and guilt.
The reading is directed by Roy Steinberg. The Robert Shackleton Playhouse is located at 405 Lafayette Street in Cape May, New Jersey.
The next reading scheduled in the series is Native Gardens by Karen Zacarias, which will take place on Monday, October 7th.
