What happens next ?!?!
Eden at Yale Rep ends with a classic soap opera tune-in-tomorrow! close-up on our antagonist/protagonist patriarch.
oooo!!!!! Can’t wait for the next installment.
But, just like we had to wait twenty minutes for this man to enter the show. We have to wait at least a year to see the next chapter in this family’s drama.
What character gets 20 minutes of talk before his entrance, and then those looks once he makes his way on stage?
A man named Eustace. This character appeared in another play by the playwright, steve carter, years earlier. In that play, One Last Look, Eustace doesn’t leave us waiting for his entrance. He gets wheeled on before the curtains come up - in a coffin. Two funeral attendees enter talking about the funeral home and the luncheon to follow, and there is Eustace - mortal remains in the box, and spirit seated beside it - listening to everything.
A character worth talking about before he enters and after he dies.
