THREE HOTELS
BY JON ROBIN BAITZ
DIRECTED BY LUDA LOPATINA SOLOMON
August 12 - September 17, 2016
Athenaeum Theatre, Studio Two, 2936 N. Southport Ave.
From the writer of Other Desert Cities and the television drama Brothers and Sisters comes the Drama Desk Award nominated Three Hotels, by John Robin Baitz (Outstanding New Play). Set in three different hotel rooms a husband and wife tell their story, separate and alone. Kenneth Hoyle, an American businessman, sells defective baby formula in third world markets. And his wife, Barbara, talks about him, their marriage, and the incident that made this story their reality. In a play that progresses from intellectual cynicism to heartbreaking honesty, Baitz reveals the emotional and physical wounds we all encounter in the face of adversity and heartbreak.
