Terrors of Pleasure
"A hilarious tale … it is a Candide comedy about a city dweller who becomes a self-made rube … [It] has dramatic cohesiveness as well as comic insight, building to a climax that would have been appreciated by Don Quixote." —N.Y. Times
Comedy. By Spalding Gray. Adapted by Kathleen Russo.

Cast: 1 (may be expanded to 16.) Gray purchases a bucolic country retreat in the Catskills with his girlfriend, only to find it becomes a rendezvous with disaster. From a house that has no foundation at all and a furnace in the attic to the kookiest neighbors he's ever encountered, Gray spins a tale of buyer's remorse in a way never quite done before. Approximate running time: 1 hour, 15 minutes (optional intermission).
