Opening June 6, 2008 Honor After thirty two years, a marriage shatters into pieces. Acclaimed journalist Gus leaves Honor, a poet, wife & mother, for Claudia, a bright young journalist not much older than Gus & Honor’s twenty four year old daughter, Sophie. In the wake of new passion stands Honor, who must come to grips with the career she has willingly sacrificed for her husband & child, the evolution of a marriage, her abandonment & her eventual resurrection. Gus must face the consequences of betraying his own long held principles about duty & justice, of leaving a secure love for the consequences of passion. Claudia confronts the darkness of her own impulses, & learns that to love truly & wisely is to understand moral responsibility. In a series of intense confrontations, the wife, husband, lover & daughter negotiate the forces of passion, lust, history, responsibility & honor. This story, Greek in its examination of the fundamental human experience, is also utterly contemporary. A familiar story is told in a distinctly original way, using theatrical language that is darkly comic, highly poetic & uncompromisingly savage. Directed by Gillian Swanson & with a cast of four featuring Nate Robinson, Jennie Lynn Stanley, Sarah Swanson & Gillian Swanson, “Honor”, by Joanna Murray Smith will open at the Blue Slipper Theatre on Friday June 6th.
