Life Drumm, the proud, educated son of a harsh schoolmaster, suffers no fools lightly—but believes himself surrounded by them. Learning he has six months to live, the meticulous keeper-of-records demands "an audit" of his life. For this he goes to Mary, the woman he loved 40 years ago, and ends an ancient quarrel with her. As Mary, her husband Lar, and Drumm's wife Dolly revisit the past with him, other actors portray the characters' younger selves through their courtships and marriages, foreshadowing who they will become. It's soon apparent why Mary wed the vital, if perpetually unemployed, Lar rather than the righteous, repressed Drumm. Round Tower Players 21/11/2007 |
