The Rimers Of Eldritch
Directed by Ensemble Member
Steven Fedoruk
Spring 2005
The 2005 Season begins with Wilson's fascinating murder mystery set against the backdrop of a tiny, Midwest town - a simple look at the very fabric of Bible Belt America, exploring the hypocrisy and viciousness that can masquerade as morality. What were the circumstances of the murder? To solve it, Wilson looks at a middle-aging woman who falls in love with the young man who comes to work in her cafe. He looks at a coarse, nasty woman mistreating her senile mother, who is obsessed with visions of Eldritch being evil and headed for blood-spilling. He looks at a tender relationship between a young man and a dreamy, crippled girl. But Wilson sees far more than this. In the end his portrait of Eldritch is full length, and the truth of its revelations will be pondered long after the stage lights have dimmed and the play has ended. Winner of the Vernon Rice Award and an Off-Broadway success, the critics for its introduction of a new and remarkably talented playwright hailed this highly imaginative and affecting play. "this reviewer liked RIMERS for its fluidity, for its language, for its almost musical sense of pattern." -NY Times.
