TURQUOISE—a play with many acts in one.

We've been told by physicists that they've found a particle that proves the whole universe is connected by an invisible fabric. This physical field theory is comically and painfully illustrated by the way a man with a memory of only 7 seconds, and two fifteen-year-old boys, unknowingly and gracefully share a world with two very old people, awake all night trying to remember the word that is the title of this play.

That word is never spoken.

Deb Margolin is a playwright, actor and founding member of Split Britches Theater Company. She is the author of nine full-length solo performance pieces, which she has toured throughout the United States, the most recent of which is the new solo tragicomedy investigating the mysteries of aging and the Clarence Thomas/Anita Hill hearings. Deb is the recipient of a 1999-2000 OBIE Award for Sustained Excellence of Performance. Her recent play, Imagining Madoff, opened the 2011-2012 season at Washington DC's prominent Theater J, and was nominated this year by the Helen Hayes committee for the Charles MacArthur Award for Outstanding New Play. Ms. Margolin is a proud member of New Dramatists, and lives in New Jersey, which she denies.
