MR. PARKER
From the author and director of DANIEL’S HUSBAND comes a funny, touching new play about learning to let go of the past and embracing the future.
In this potent look at love, life and loss, Terry Parker is at a crossroads — gay, middle-aged, suddenly single and unable to adjust to a world that has moved on without him – when he embarks on a journey of self-discovery. The production reunites playwright Michael McKeever with director Brancato who staged his DANIEL’S HUSBAND at Penguin Rep Theatre, Primary Stages, and Off Broadway at Westside Theatre.
“The protagonist of this new play by Michael McKeever steps gingerly out of grief’s stasis and into the unknown.”
—The New York Times
“A very intelligent, absorbing look at contemporary relationships and the conflicts that keep us all from aging with joy and peace of mind. The three actors are perfect and the writing is both honest and engaging. This play is a real discovery.”
– Rex Reed
“Michael McKeever is an important and daring writer. MR PARKER, in all its glory is evidence of that. The three actors are stunning. Derek Smith is Mr. Parker, Davi Santos as his clumsily conceived romantic replacement and Mia Matthews as the larger-than-life Cassandra, all perfect. This thoughtful and involving drama cuts to the core.
