The Bridge in Scarsdale
reyIn September of 2019 we proudly produced a reading of Scarsdale author Robert Remington Wood's play, The Bridge in Scarsdale.
The show was originally produced off broadway in 2002. The New York Times wrote...
"Practicality and poetry wrestle for possession of a soul in the eternal triangle formed by a father, mother and son that is at the heart of The Bridge in Scarsdale..."
As the play opens, Phil is meeting his father, Henry, for lunch. What swiftly becomes clear as the martinis, wine and fish are ordered is that although Henry's professional life has been devoted to building bridges, his personal life is not as well engineered as his bridges.
Phil is hoping to persuade Henry to join him on one of his regular visits to see Regina, the wife whom Henry has never divorced and who currently resides in the hospital where she is treated for mental illness. The visit rekindles feelings, reveals secrets and brings past betrayals to the forefront for a family who has spent a lifetime in conflict.
CAST:
Phil - Anthony Malchar
Henry - Cyrus Newitt
Regina - Ane Giroux
Vera/Mary - Benna Strober
Bobby - Tommy Lloyd
Director: Dakota Martin
Stage Manager: Laura Groven
Producers: Jeffrey Rocco & Dakota Martin
