When a devoted housewife—from a certain classic American drama—tracks down the woman who is sleeping with her husband, the two discover that they have more in common than society would like them to believe.
Taking inspiration from Arthur Miller’s Death of a Salesman, playwright Eleanor Burgess has imagined how a potentially combustible confrontation brings themes of marriage, duty and division to the surface—and the ways in which the world has, and hasn’t, changed across generations.
SLO REP is hosting three performances of an Ubu’s Other Shoe staged reading of Burgess’ 2022 full-length play Wife of a Salesman on March 13 and 14.
Broadway World called the play “a modern masterpiece full of stimulating themes, moments of emotional connection and genuine laughter, plus playful and shocking twists.”
Directed by Kerry DiMaggio with artistic direction by Michael Siebrass and stage management by Pam Hester, the production features Christina Diaz, Heather MacLeod, Roberto de Leon and Shannon Peters.
