Playing Sinatra was performed on April 13th & 14th, 2008
Synopsis: A powerful psychological drama set in an oppressive old house in London, where grown-up siblings Norman and Sandra resist their lonely future by living out their fantasies in the music of their idol, Frank Sinatra. Norman, an agoraphobic bookbinder, works at home and heats microwave meals to perfection; Sandra, with outside job and interests, longs to break free of her existence. But the option of leaving her mentally-disturbed brother and running off with the “mystic” Phillip proves less than straightforward … This tense play’s clammy grip never slackens.
