Mr. and Mrs. James Oliver Flynn live together in the attic of the acid-witted Mrs. O’ Fallon’s city home. Together, they imagine a world just for them: a magic tower surrounded by forests and lakes. However, when Jim leaves Linda alone to share his artwork with the “Christopher Columbus of modern art”, Linda begins to notice the leaking roof and lack of rent payments. When a surprise pair from her past come bursting through her door, Linda begins to doubt the fortitude of the shared vision. Out are the Trans-Atlantic accents of the original setting in Lechner’s new spin, replacing it with a darker aesthetic that lifts the shade into how the rise of marijuana affected the impressionable rockstars of the generation. As the clouds around Linda clear, her world falls apart while she wrestles with codependent domestic life with Jim or the tumultuous life that she only recently escaped. Driven by manipulation and questionable power dynamics, this rarely-hits-the-stage show is not to be missed.
McCoy Theatre is at 2000 North Parkway, Memphis, TN.
