Fall 2004
The 2004 Season concluded with Reddin's savage look at a lost generation of
corporate American 'players', sleek in their enterprise and hungry for the
sharp deal. Paul belongs to a fast-track crowd of young
banker-broker-trader-dealers whizzing about the world, troubleshooting on
international accounts of 'serious money,' flying home to relax with a beer
and a quick snort of cocaine, he's the yuppie prince supreme. But though
he's a major member of the 'gimme generation,' Paul's also an innocent. He
loves his work, he fights for his woman, he believes in his future, he's
sold on success. Then, on a trip to shore up a shaky financial situation in
a Middle Eastern country, he has his faced rubbed in the global realities of
America. Stripped to essentials, much like the bleak vision of David
Mamet's 'Edmond,' it's a sad, savage look at a new lost generation of
spoiled, self-centered Americans, sleek and corrupt in their enterprise,
whose feelings of love and understanding have been starved out in their
hunger for the sharp deal and the main chance.'a small play of smashing
impact. Ensemble Member Steve Scott, who previously staged Eclipse's hit
production of Lost in Yonkers and Childe Byron, returns to direct the
amazing finale of the Reddin Season.
