The Palace of the Moorish Kings: Trustus Theatre

Thursday August 16, 2012 - Saturday August 18, 2012

Thanksgiving Day, 1970: the Cowboys and Packers are on ABC, John Gary's on the hi-fi, and friends are gathering for their traditional feast at the Zobrowski home. Members of the greatest generation now living in comfortable suburban split-levels, now settled into conventional marriages and predictable careers, now living the ordinary lives of ordinary middle-class Americans, they are vaguely aware of the world moving on and away from them, and the apprehension that something is coming for them. An unexpected call from a world-travelling old friend suddenly makes them confront all the choices they have made, all the choices they never knew they had, and that part of themselves that has died along the way. Based on the short story by Evan S. Connell, "The Palace of the Moorish Kings" asks us which terms of surrender we must accept as a means of belonging, and what we must abandon to stay free. See Trustus for times and info.
