My Zinc Bed

This three-character piece centers on Paul, a young poet and recovering alcoholic; billionaire businessman Victor who befriends and employs him; and Victor’s young wife Elsa, an alcoholic who has chosen to recover without the help of Paul’s much-relied-upon AA meetings. The story builds in intensity as over the course of a summer, Paul and Elsa become romantically involved. The three main characters clash and challenge each other’s beliefs as they grapple with their own inner demons. (Verleiher-Text)
