BackStage Theatre Company begins its 10th Anniversary Season by asking you to step inside the home of a woman called Lemon. Lemon has a story to tell. What begins as a deceptively simple coming-of-age yarn about her seemingly ordinary family soon becomes a complex meditation on the persuasive power of intimacy. Written by one of the more controversial playwrights of the contemporary American theatre, Aunt Dan and Lemon is a both a mordant comedy and a chilling cautionary tale about the subversive nature of influence.

Orange Flower Water tells the story of two ordinary suburban couples caught in a private web of deceit as they tear down their everyday lives in search of a greater happiness that seems to be always just beyond their reach.  Told through an intensely intimate series of theatrical, voyeuristic scenes that all take place on or around a single revolving bed, we see the unraveling of both troubled marriages from every angle.  Eventually, the construction of a very fragile new beginning for everyone concerned seems to emerge . . . but for how long?

Two chairs stand in a private room inhabited by a gleefully naive couple whose youthful desire for each other is hardly interrupted by the coming of their first child. Soon, however, their playfully sexual exploits are bizarrely interrupted by a mysterious and nameless older couple who may (or may not) have sinister motives. Penned by one of America’s preeminent playwrights, The Play About the Baby is an absurdist black comedy, reminiscent of burlesque in it’s high spirits and banter, that grapples with such issues as reality and the games we play to define it, the ambiguity of existence, and the agonizing bonds between parents and children.
