“Silence and A Song by Colm Toibin
from the collections The Empty Family and Mothers and Sons, respectively.
Off the Page staged readings are the first step in developing a Word for Word production – taking a short story from the page to the stage. Come see the very first steps of our process, and, after the reading, let us know what you think!
In A Song, Noel, on the town with a group of his musician friends, steps into the same pub as his estranged mother, a renowned Irish singer. She sings a ballad about love and treachery and Noel imagines how fiercely he could sing with her. Silence is a brilliant historical set piece about the loves and fortunes of Lady Gregory, and how she uses a social encounter with Henry James to immortalize her affair.
Conversation with audience to follow.”
