Somewhere in the Middle East an American professor, Michael Wells, is held hostage, blindfolded and alone in a cell. His wife Lainie waits for him at home in a surreally empty room while her life comes apart at the seams.
Pressured by visits from an evasive government representative and a headline-hungry journalist, Lainie becomes increasingly afraid of losing her husband forever.
Written in the late “80s, this searing portrait of solitude and devotion rings eerily true to today’s news. A revealing study of the personal side of terrorism, Two Rooms is also a love story between two people whose lives are interrupted by a world falling apart.

Counter Productions in Provincetown is pleased to present a staged reading of Provincetown playwright,Sinan Unel’s Pathetique. In the fall of 1893, Tchaikovsky is in Petersburg to conduct his 6th Symphony Pathetique, the darkest and most mysterious of his works. He’s staying with his brother Modest, an unsuccessful playwright, and his nephew Bobyk, an aspiring poet and the object of his famous uncle’s unrequited affections. Five days after the premiere of the symphony which, by the composer’s own admission, is imbued with a “subjective and secret program,” Tchaikovsky is dead.
Ten years later Modest and Bobyk continue to endure the effects of the unrelenting gossip, doubts and speculation surrounding the the composer’s death, and the symphony’s unrevealed subject. Through a narrative that weaves between the events of 1893 and 1903, Pathetique explores the nature of art and the artist’s precarious relationship to his audience and his work. with John Andert, Adam Berry, John Keller, Valerie Stanford, and Max Quinn.
One performance only, Saturday November 22nd, 7pm, at the Provincetown Theatre. There is a $10.00 suggested donation at the door. For more information please visit counter-productions.org.
