Island Theatre presents “Reckless,” “a Bittersweet Fable for our Time” by Award-Winning playwright Craig Lucas at the Library!

Island Theatre presents “Reckless,” “a bittersweet fable for our time” by award-winning playwright Craig Lucas. Performances will take place at the Bainbridge Public Library on Saturday, January 24 at 7 pm and Sunday, January 25 at 3 pm. No reservations are necessary.

“Reckless,” which premiered on Broadway in 2004, is a dark comedy about a woman whose perfect Christmas is shattered when her husband informs her that he’s hired a hitman to kill her. Rachel scrambles out the window into the snowy night, beginning a surreal adventure where nothing is as it seems.

The production is intended for mature audiences. It deals with challenging themes of mental health, gun violence, and alcohol abuse. Discretion is advised. The staged reading is directed by Pete Benson, and features Catherine Conoley, Ed Courtway, Sabrina Fiander, Richard Gustafson, and Kate Henderson.

What Critics Have Said About Reckless:

“A beguiling oddball of a comedy about a serenely flaky Alice, who silently absorbs the bruises of loss and suffering as she careens through a surreal, nightmarish Wonderland. . . an imperfect but rare and delicate jewel.” – Variety

”Reckless” yanks us through every conceivable absurdist hoop, fracturing narrative, language and characterization on the way to its rending destination.” —The New York Times

“An Alice-like character searching for answers in a less than utopian world. . . It’s well worth the trippy ride.” – Maryland Theater Guide
