Country House

The Story A brood of famous and longing-to-be-famous creative artists have gathered at their summer home during the Williamstown Theatre Festival.
When the weekend takes an unexpected turn, everyone is forced to improvise, inciting a series of simmering jealousies, romantic outbursts, and passionate soul-searching.
Both witty and compelling, THE COUNTRY HOUSE provides a piercing look at a family of performers coming to terms with the roles they play in each other’s lives.

You think all women love their children? Medea? Gertrude? Not all women should be mothers. It didn’t come naturally to her. She was miscast.
