A man and woman stand back to back with unhappy expressions in a black space.

The Groundling

Story

After stumbling upon an outdoor production of a Shakespeare play in Manhattan, Long Island landscaper Bob Malone returns home inspired to write a play about his troubled marriage. He hires two reluctant New York theater professionals to spend a week at his home and stage the play in his garage with a cast of colorful locals. The Groundling is a comedy exploring the meaning of the final moments of Shakespeare’s Loves's Labour's Lost and how the power of theater can affect the most unsuspecting, and perhaps most deserving, of us all.   

Playwright: Marc Palmieri
Director: Edie L. Norlin

The play is presented through special arrangement with Dramatist Play Service, Inc.
