“You Know Why You’re Here”

This was a collaboration of the regular Rough & Tumble Theatre crew (Dan Milstein Directing, Fred Harrington’s on-stage music) with wordsmith Bill Donnelly. It wed their laconic, minimalist style to the memories of a guy (Chris Cook) who watched a girl (Kristin Baker) from high school, through three different affairs, into marriage – but not to him. George Saulnier III played the three other men, while Tori Low and Irene Daly were high-school friends and wedding-guests. With little but a few changes of costume and a couple of props, whispy and brief, this little gem could be the plot for a novel by F. Scott Fitzgerald –a theatrical poem.
