The PlayFinder™

THE STORY: JULIET explores the debate between an intense and brilliant young director and his temperamental leading lady about their differing interpretations of Ibsen’s Ghosts. He wants to do the play “straight” —exactly as written by the master; while she insists on inserting an upbeat ending to relieve “all that Scandinavian depression.” But his reasoned arguments that no grown man’s mother would act as the actress suggests are unexpectedly challenged by the sudden appearance of his own mother, a lonely older woman who ironically proceeds to give the lie to his theories.
